I dream a dream of forgotten dreams
Of life forever lost.
I dream of a life that will never be.
My plans were double crossed.
I dream of the path I did not take.
I did not know the way.
I dream of a life out there somewhere,
Had I not gone astray.
I dream of the friend I did not find
Because I was afraid.
A little more courage, a little more effort,
I would have made the grade.
I dream of the love I did not have.
Of the love I did not give.
I dream of everything I did not see
And the life I did not live.
I dream of the opportunities I did not take
And the deeds that I did not do.
I dream of the love you gave to me
That I did not give to you.
But still I dream because to dream
Is what we all must do.
And if I dream about my dreams
Perhaps they will all come true.
