Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

When we are young we long to tread a way none have trod before

In dreams begins responsibility.

I have spread my dreams under your feet; tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

Take, if you must, this little bag of dreams, Unloose the cord, and they will wrap you round.
