lyrics
It’s a life awry my darling, it’s a life like nothing else
You work all through the day, at night you pray for something else
And you learn to walk away, yeah, you learn to move on through
All the fears you hold inside and the stress that burdens you…
When your hurt gets so bad you remember what the heart sings
Yeah, when your life gets so sad you remember what your heart brings
I sing, “Ooh, dream with me!”
I sing, “Ooh, dream with me!”
You’ve got to share all the love in your heart…
You’ve got to share all the love in you heart as much as you can
I cry, “Ooh, dream with me!”
Yes, I sing, “Ooh, dream with me!”
Ooh, dream with me…
I sing, “Ooh, dream with me!”
It’s a life of heart my darling, it’s a life like nothing else
You’ll wake to a new day and look within to find yourself
And you’ll learn to cast away all the fears you hold inside
Yeah, you’ll learn to move on through when the tears they fill your eyes
‘Cause when the hurt gets so bad you remember
And when your life gets so sad you’ll remember what your heart brings
I sing, “Ooh, dream with me!”
I sing, “Ooh, dream with me!”
I sing, “Ooh, dream with me!”
I sing, “Ooh, dream with me!”

Songwriter’s note:
The lyrics, “Let’s go one more time...” and the vocal stylings that precede them are an expression of my love for Roy Orbison and his 1961 version of the rockabilly classic “Mean Woman Blues” written by Claude DeMetrius in 1957.
Luis Moreno is a singer/songwriter from Los Angeles, now residing in New York. He is inspired to creatively answer the
“emotional call” he proclaims the world is presently crying for in this new age of unprecedented isolation and disconnect. Moreno’s music is a testament to raising awareness to the beauty and simplicity of his life’s mission: emotional intelligence and true heart connection....more
