keeping the dream alive - freheit - around 80-something:

tonight the rain is falling
full of memories of people and places
and while the past is calling
in my fantasy i remember their faces

the hope we had way much too high
way out of reach
but we have to try

the game will never be over
because we keepin' the dream alive

i hear myself recalling
think you said to me the night it all started
and still the rain is falling
make me feel the way i felt when we parted

the hope we had way much too high
way out of reach
but we have to try

no need to hide
no need to run
cause all the answers come one by one

the game will never be over
because we keepin' the dream alive

i need you...
i love you...

the game will never be over
because we keepin' the dream alive
