Dreams of the Past

Dreams that I treasure
Slip too quickly away—
I wish that I could stay in bed
And dream of you all day,

For daytime brings the sadness
Of having you no more;
How I’d love to turn back time
And make it as before;

So if you share my longing dreams
And want a different ending,
Please send an answer back at once
To this message I am sending.

Tell me you want to try again—
It will make my dreams come true;
For every day we’ve been apart,
I’ve kept on loving you.
