  • Well I've had dreams enough for one
    And I've got love enough for three
    I have my hopes to comfort me
    I got my new horizons out to sea

    But I'm never gonna lose your precious gift
    It will always be that way
    'cause I know I'm gonna find my own peace of mind
    Someday

    Where is this place that we have found?
    Nobody knows where we are bound
    I long to hear, I need to see
    'cause I've shed tears too many for me, me

    But I'm never gonna lose your precious gift
    It will always be that way
    'cause I know I'm gonna find my own peace of mind
    Someday

    On the wind soaring free
    Spread your wings, I'm beginning to see
    Out of mind far from view
    Beyond the reach of a nightmare come true

    Well I've had dreams enough for one
    And I got love enough for three
    I have my hopes to comfort me
    I got my new horizons out to sea

    But I'm never gonna lose your precious gift
    It will always be that way
    'cause I know I'm gonna find my own peace of mind
    Someday, someway

  • Bernard Douglas Cook from Foley, Al, UsaSpot on Julie and Graham, I've always loved the Moody Blues, having seen them 4 times in concert, unfortunately never with Mike Pinder. I met John Lodge at the hotel where I was working in room service, also chatted with Bias Boshell when he had his brief interlude with them. One thing I've always wondered, why does Justin Hayward always look so troubled or even angry, I wonder what in his background left him with this outlook, no doubt however, this probably fueled his great talent in writing songs, playing guitar and singing.
  • Graham from Staffordbest band ever. great singers great writers and great musicians in an age noted for all three. Music I'm afraid has died a sad death for the last 30 years.
  • Julie from Seqthe most amazing band ever
  • Gigi from St. Louis, MoThis is most surely one of my very favorite songs written by Justin Hayward. I think he wrote it at a time when he had mixed feelings or anxiety about becoming a father but realized he had love enough for three. and with a family coming he had new horizons now and never wanted to loose this beautiful place he had found in his life. we all have new horizons at some time to relate to this song in our lives. incredibly beautiful lyrics and music
  • Michael from Kissimmee, FlHow sad they don't write like this anymore...
