Furtado, Nelly - Childhood Dreams Lyrics






I can't believe you need me
I never thought would be needed for anything
I can't believe my shoulder would carry such important weight
As your head and your tears
I can't believe you chose me, in all my fragility, me
It hurts so much when I love you, it makes me cry
Every time

You, you are, oh you are
The little boy made for me in the stars
In the star, that's why I can't let you go
The little boy made for mi in the stars
That's why I love you more the further I go
And before this existence you were always there
Waiting for me
You are, you are the realest thing I know
Hands down
The realest thing I know

I am not used to being carried
Or being able to carry a pretty song
I have been bruised by my many trails
Sometimes my skin's so thick it's frail
I just need to be ignored 'til I wake up to the beauty that is yours
And it all comes to life so suddenly
This is a place so deep, the water's so deep I hesitate, cause

All the energy it takes to feel this power
I tend to run, I tend to hide, I tend to scream 'til I find you and I know I
got you
I know, I know, I know

You're the little boy made for me in the stars
In the stars, that's why I can't let you go
The little boy made for me in the stars
That's why I love you more the further I go
And before this existence you were always here
Inside of me
You are, you are the realest thing I know
Hands down...the realest thing I know

I'm sliding on the rainbows of my childhood dreams
I'm sliding on the rainbows of my childhood dreams

When you carry me, when you carry me, when you carry me
It's so happy

I'm sliding on the rainbows of my childhood dreams
I'm sliding on the rainbows of my childhood dreams

    "Folklore" is masterful! Nelly really did her musical homework, so many influences, and came up with a really beautiful original collection of songs !!! It's genius!, it blows me away. I stopped playing it for a few years because I played it so much. But it's back in play, and it still gives me chills, even more so!

    It hurts so much when I love you, it makes me cry 
    Every time

    You, you are, oh you are
    The little boy made for me in the stars
    In the star, that's why I can't let you go
    The little boy made for mi in the stars

    Mi disco favorito y una de mis canciones favoritas 💙

  20. M.... A....

    Essa é a melhor música da Nelly Furtado. Acho uma das melhores músicas do mundo. A letra, os arranjos e a emoção que ela passa. Muito difícil uma música de quase 7 minutos ser tão bonita do começo ao fim. cada pedacinho dela é perfeito.

  21. C.... ....

    This is the most beautiful song in the world.

  22. L.... M....

    I may be wrong but here I go: This is the perfect song for a b-side and a little known jewel - it has it all: longer duration than a comercial single, extremely appealing subject, too personal and easy to relate to, slow and different than her usual style.

  23. M.... T....

    amo esta cancion con toda mi alma, amo la musica, alguien mas ama la musica???

  24. K.... V....

    I remember this song on my prom day . . this is one of my favorite songs by Nelly Furtado! 💖

  25. M.... L....

    Beautiful song!!

  26. T.... K....

    Still sounds so good......Thanks

  27. D.... Z....

    hey people! i wrote a song called Childhood Dreams also, its really difficult do get noticed so i would love some feedback, thx:)

  28. R.... Z....

    When her music was so providential =(

  29. s.... ....

    Mein Lieblingssong von Nelly. Ich verbinde damit auch besondere Momente...
    Zusammen mit One Trick Pony das Highlight der CD.

  30. K.... E....

    Danke dafür . Kann man auch als  Untermalung für eine  Radiosendung verwenden . Und beim Coaching , damit es fliessen kann . Einen schönen Tag dir noch : " strawberrybanana28 " .............................................................................................

  31. L.... D....

    Estas si eran canciones de Nelly!!

  32. K.... H....

    This is my wedding song. I so love this song. It's amazing to see how people think that this song being a wedding song would be "creepy." It's about a Cinderella like journey to finding the one and how deep that is once realized. What's so creepy about that? Anyway, it is a good wedding song choice regardless of what the naysayers and cynics think.

    K.... H....

    I am the father to be of a beautiful baby monkey (this is not literal) that has yet to be concieved and I this song since the first time I heard it made me think its his lullaby.. I can see as well how can this be a wedding song... Music is art and art is interpreted by each one differently... This song is of course about unconditional love... We all love someone different the most... just LOVE!!!!

    K.... H....

    If I ever get married, I want this to be my wedding song.

    K.... H....

    I'll join the wedding song club. it's amazing

    K.... H....

    I thought it's about her 1st born

    K.... H....

    It's not creepy.
    But it is kinda neurotic for a wedding song, given how one sided the perspective is.
    Isn't a wedding song supposed to be about both partners?

  33. s.... ....

    Nobody can take the place of the beloved!. I said move , and the Mountain Moved.I love you ,you moved for me.The realest thing i know.Mama Seta! Pachumama! You carry me on the river of my childhood dreams.....sacred waters of life .My greatest love to the sacred mountains of life....Only an islander would know why i am talking about.....Fresh off the boat

  34. b.... ....

    The organ in this is bloody amazing.

    b.... ....

    Stendhal

  35. S.... K....

    I cant stop crying

  36. L.... (....

    I think the commercial aspect in the Music Industry made her change her Music Style. She was so Indie back in the day and was in a genre of her own.Her first 2 albums were magical.

    L.... (....

    LP (Lakshan) De Silva her last album is 100% indie (The Ride).

  37. m.... ....

    ...a song from the heart of world...

  38. R.... ....

    Amazing.

  39. a.... ....

    One of my favorite,,,,nahhh ma favorite nellyfurtado song,,, o how i miss her... she had to change it up u gotta respect that n she left us wit a plethora of great music,,, she is amazing

  40. C.... �....

    This is one of the most beautiful songs of all times, hands down!

  41. S.... W....

    I was lucky to buy this album Folklore when it came out when I was 20 in Hawaii

    S.... W....

    Stephen Wilfahrt age is just an illusion, I bought it when I was 16 yet I still listen to it

  42. V.... T....

    pure perfection!!!

    dont know why Folklore is soo underrated, it has the best lyrics, the best vocals, its just wonderful. Its her in her own magnificence

    V.... T....

    Víctor Tobar I soooo agree with you

    V.... T....

    Víctor Tobar it isn't anymore... Its her genius album. So many influences to create such an original, inspiring, music collection! I bought it immediately when I heard the first single "Powerless"...

  43. i.... ....

    If anyone has read "The Hunger Games " Trilogy by Suzanne Collins, this would be the perfect song for Katniss and Peeta.

  44. S.... L....

    BEAUTIFUL *__*

  45. M.... ....

    1 person didnt have a childhood dreams

  46. F.... ....

    I cherished this song sooo much in middle school. I still do.

    F.... ....

    Foreignstar SAME

  47. J.... H....

    I love when she sings those high vocals

  48. S.... ....

    @ottopaul As much as I love the song, and the album, it would seem odd for it to be a wedding song... just like the Police's "Every Breath You Take" was MEANT to be creepy, this is something different and not suited to an ode to hopeful marital bliss.

  49. o.... ....

    this is officially my all time favorite song... i've said it ever since 2003, and it only gets truer with time. every single time i listen to it, i get chills, and it has never gotten old or faded a tiny bit.

    i don't know how this hasn't become the unofficial wedding song of the world.

  50. T.... ....

    @Bentleyboy007 i completely agree!

  51. m.... ....

    nice song. this my first time listening to songs off of Folklore.

  52. S.... ....

    I always listen to this song at Christmas..*.*

  53. S.... ....

    NIe no sorry, Chciałem napisać coś po "nienaszemu" ale sie powstrzymałem, to jest niesamowite. Warto mieć tą płytkę w swojej dyskografii.

  54. B.... ....

    the lyrics in this are just simply beautiful

  55. A.... C....

    Absolutely incredible. I loved this album.

  56. x.... ....

    this is a masterpiece. period.
