Rock And Roll Dreams Come Through
Meat Loaf
The Very Best Of Meat Loaf (1998)

You can't run away for ever
But there's nothing wrong with getting a good head start
You want to shut out the night, you wnat to shut down the sun
You want to shut away the pieces of a broken heart

Think of how we'd lay down together
We'd be list'ning to the radio so loud and so strong
Ev'ry golden nugget coming like a gift of the gods
Someone must have blessed us when he gave us those songs

I treasure your love
I never want to lose it
You've been through the fires of hell, and I know you've got the ashes to prove it

I treasure your love
I want to show you how to use it
You've been through a lot of pain in the dirt, and I know you've got the scars to prove it

Remember everything that I told you, and I'm telling you again that it's true
You're never alone, 'cause you can put on the 'phones,
and let the drummer tell your heart what to do

Keep on believing, and you'll discover baby

There's always something magic
There's always something new
And when you really really need it the most, that's when rock and roll dreams come through
The beat is yours for ever
The beat is always true
And when you really really need it the most, that's when rock and roll dreams come through,
for you

[Instrumental bridge]

Once upon a time was a backbeat
Once upon a time all the chords came to life
And the angels had guitars even before they had wings
If you hold onto a chorus you can get through the night

I treasure your love
I never want to lose it
You've been through the fires of hell, and I know you've got the ashes to prove it

I treasure your love
I want to show you how to use it
You've been through a lot of pain in the dirt, and I know you've got the scars to prove it

Remember everything that I told you, and I'm telling you again that it's true
You're never alone, 'cause you can put on the 'phones,
and let the drummer tell your heart what to do

Keep on believing, and you'll discover baby

There's always something magic
There's always something new
And when you really really need it the most, that's when rock and roll dreams come through
The beat is yours for ever
The beat is always true
And when you really really need it the most, that's when rock and roll dreams come through,
For you!

(The beat is yours for ever. That's when rock and roll dreams come through)
[Repeat to fade]
