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.      ________________
