Home Demo. Licensed for TV. Lennon/Beatles sounding song, (Ron Signorelli: Vocals, Bass, Drums, Guitars & Lyrics). Daubert: Composition.Piano/Harpsichord. Aired on E's Fashion Television: John & Yoko, & Beatles album art, & Calvin Klein segments
Daubert played a new song just with piano for a friend, Ron Signorelli, who said it sounded like a Lennon style song. So, Daubert asked Ron to do everything in the style and sound of Lennon and Beatles, since he had already been doing Beatles covers in his home studio that sounded very close. Ron wrote the lyrics and played all the parts except the piano and harpsichord, all in a day.
The original recording and other lyrics made it a 6 minute song, (and ended just a second before the digital tape ran out!). This is a 4 minute version.
"Hold On To Your Dreams"

Written by Ron Signorelli and John Daubert
1st Verse:
You dance around me like a moth to a flame
You're feeling older and your steps aren't the same
The dreams that carried you, you laid on a shelf
You look for answers, you keep blaming yourself
Chorus:
You had the wind like a pouring rain
But your life's just beginning you got plenty to gain
Walking on water ain't as hard as it seems
You got to hold on to your dreams
2nd Verse:
And now your falling but you ain't got a net
Your best is over and you live with regrets
But I see through you and you haven't peaked yet
Your pen ain't drying but your pages aren't wet
Chorus:
You were the wind, and you
Can be again, because
Things aren't and always what they seem
Walking on water ain't as hard as it seems
You got to hold on to your dreams
Bridge:
You can get old before you time
If you don't keep a younger mind
That ain't the way life ought to be
Guitar Lead
Bridge:
You can be old and turning gray
But there are still new songs to play
You still got vital things to say
Ending Chorus:
You were the wind, and you
Can be again, but you
Got to hold to your dreams
Life doesn't always fit so tight at the seems
That ain't the way life should be
You were the sun you shined so
Right through the day
You got to hold on to your dreams
You're like a lion in a jungle of pain
You got to hold on to your dreams
