Finish the Aerosmith lyric: “Sing with me, sing for the year…”?

Tyler wrote "Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear" and the rest of "Dream On" at 14 while at his grandmother's fancy Steinway piano. The song sat collecting dust for years until Aerosmith finally recorded it for their 1973 debut album, where it promptly face-planted everywhere except the band's native city of Boston. Columbia Records basically shrugged and moved on until some studio exec thought, "Hey, what if we try that Tyler scream-fest again?" in 1975 and re-released it. Turns out third time's the charm, and Tyler's vocal climb quickly became rock radio's favorite dramatic moment.
