Dare To Dream - Valerie Landsburg - Song of the Month

 

"Dare To Dream" is a beautiful ballad performed by Valerie Landsburg in the Season 4 episode "The Return of Doctor Scorpio", where Doris has been yelled at by her hero visiting actor Trevor Kane.

The song is written by James Dunne, who wrote the music & Pamela Phillips Oland who wrote the lyrics. A few years ago Pamela said she'd forgotten all about this song but revisiting it she was impressed with how good it actually is.

It's a shame that this song was never released on any Fame album or was covered by another artist.

Valerie performed the song live at the 2017 Italian Reunion. It was a powerful version where she was accompanied by Lee Curreri on piano and the band performing wonderful backing vocals,. with the melody going into "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" at the end.

On the road to happiness

Some get lost and some get blessed

Nothin’s certain but the way time flies

Wish my heart were made of steel

But I laugh and hurt and feel

Wondrin’ if my star will ever rise

Still as make-believers do

I’ve cried for hopes that fell through

After tears…

I can see with different eyes

 

           

If I Dare to Dream

Love will do the rest

A fire’s burnin’ in my heart

I can’t take second best

Through the eyes of love

Nothin’shard as it may seem

So I will Dare to Dream

 

It’s no sin to try and fail

When the wall’s too high to scale

Still I wish I’d rise above the crowd

I will have it all some day

When no-one stands in my way

It’s my time

Starting here – starting now

 

           

If I Dare to Dream

Love will do the rest

A fire’s burnin’ in my heart

I can’t take second best

Through the eyes of love

Nothin’shard as it may seem

And the power of your love

Makes me Dare to Dream

Dare to Dream…

 

If I Dare to Dream

Love will do the rest

A fire’s burnin’ in my heart

I can’t take second best

Through the eyes of love

Nothin’shard as it may seem

So I will Dare to Dream
