I Don't Regret a Mile

I’ve dreamed many a dream that’s never come true,
I’ve seen them vanish at dawn,
But enough of my dreams have come true
To make me keep dreaming on

I’ve prayed many a prayer that seemed no answer would come,
Though I’d waited so patient and long;
But enough answers have come to my prayers
To make me keep praying on.

I’ve sown many a seed that’s fallen by the wayside,
For the birds to feed upon
But I’ve held enough golden sheaves in my hands
To make me sowing on.

I’ve trusted many a friends that’s failed me
And left me to weep alone
But enough of my friends have been true blue
To make me keep trusting on

I’ve drained the cup of disappointment and pain’
And gone many a day without song
But I’ve sipped enough nectar from the roses of life
To make me want to live on
