Out here the nights are long, the days are lonely 
I think of you and I'm working on a dream 
I'm working on a dream 

Now the cards I've drawn's a rough hand, darling 
I straighten my back and I'm working on a dream 
I'm working on a dream 

I'm working on a dream 
Though sometimes it feels so far away 
I'm working on a dream 
I know it will be mine someday 

Rain pourin' down, I swing my hammer 
My hands are rough from working on a dream 
From working on a dream 

I'm working on a dream 
Though trouble can feel like it's here to stay 
I'm working on a dream 
Our love will chase the trouble away 

[Whistling interlude] 

I'm working on a dream 
Though it can feel so far away 
I'm working on a dream 
And our love will make it real someday 

The [bad word]  I climb the ladder 
The new day breaks and I'm working on a dream 
I'm working on a dream 
I'm working on a dream 
I'm working on a dream 

I'm working on a dream 
Though it can feel so far away 
I'm working on a dream 
And our love will make it real someday 
I'm working on a dream 
Though it can feel so far away 
I'm working on a dream 
And our love will make it real someday
