  • Midnight, you heavy laden, it's midnight
    Come on and trade in your old dreams for new
    Your new dreams for old
    I know where they're bought
    I know where they're sold
    Midnight, you've got to get there at midnight
    And you'll be met there by others like you
    Brothers as blue
    Smiling on the street of dreams

    Love laughs at a king
    Kings don't mean a thing
    On the street of dreams
    Dreams broken in two can be made like new
    On the street of dreams
    Gold, sliver and gold
    All you can hold is in the moonbeams
    Poor, no one is poor
    Long as love is sure
    On the street of dreams

    Midnight, look at the steeple, it's midnight
    Unhappy people, it's ringing with joy
    It's ringing with cheer
    'Cause yesterday's gone
    Tomorrow is near
    Midnight, the heart is lighter at midnight
    Things will be brighter the moment you find
    More of your kind
    Smiling on the street of dreams

    Love laughs at a king
    Kings don't mean a thing
    On the street of dreams
    Dreams broken in two can be made like new
    On the street of dreams
    Gold, sliver and gold
    All you can hold is in the moonbeams
    Poor, no one is poor
    Long as love is sure
    On the street of dreams
