Yet another gorgeous song
for which I've written a
lyric...
___________________________
I can wish with all my
might
Make-believing day and
night
I can hope for a lucky
break
And dream away my heartache
I can pray for something
good
Cross my fingers and touch
wood
But in the end, it all
comes tumbling down
Because you're not around

I used to dream
Of how you and I
Would both end up together
But now you're gone
And I'm alone
Cos dreams don't last
forever
I wished upon
A shooting star
With all of my endeavour
But it was all
A waste of time
Cos dreams don't last
forever

All of my hopes and dreams
Have all been in vain, it
seems
And if you should once
return
Would I just get my fingers
burnt?
All the things I wanted,
deep down
They passed me by or never
came around
Nothing more than a...
Pipe dream gone wrong
That's why I sing this song

I used to dream...

Now my dreams are fading
fast
Disappearing into the past
Still the future looks so
bleak
I don't know what it is I
seek
Except for one thing,
crystal clear
I need you to be right here
But I know you'll always
be somewhere else
And yet I still hear
wedding bells...

Chorus to fade
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yeah, I know it's soppy. So
what?

It's dedicated to everyone
out there who's split up
with someone they care
deeply about, or who love
someone they know they'll
never be able to have for
themselves.

I'd say "Happy listening",
but the phrase doesn't seem
to fit this song very
well...

And no, before you ask, the
melody that goes with the
words ISN'T here, so just
make one up yourself. :)

I enjoyed writing this song
anyway. I just hope you
enjoy listening to it as
much.      ________________
