Only Dreaming
I guess I’m only dreaming,
A dream that can’t come true.
I’m dreaming that I’ll spend my life
waking up with you.
But if we were together
could it ever be the same?
I threw it all away before,
but I wasn’t all to blame.
You said we had no future,
that you would soon be gone
And though we parted long ago
your memory lives on.
The sweetness of your memory
time can not erase.
I yearn to see you smile again
and gaze upon your face.
But I’m glad I have these memories
that will last through years of time,
for no one can take them away from me,
these memories are mine!
