The Dream You Lost
(Walter D. Dombrowski)
Once upon a time you dreamt that you could see our future
I with you and you with me forever true
You shared your dream with me, a fresh and brand new feeling
And I give you my love and trust believing too
Like everyone in love we had our share of problems
And I really thought that we could see them through
But I guess along the way somehow you stopped believing
In the dream that you had once so clear to you
We tried to work things out, so many things to say
But in the end you simply turned and walked away
And now I’m left here in my shattered heart in pieces
But before I go I’ll say these words to you
I’ll be the one who got away, the only one you can’t forget
A reminder of the things you wish you could have done and said
I’ll be the song that goes unwritten, a hidden gift you cannot find
And when you think about me, I’ll be the dream that you lost once upon a time
I’ll never understand how you could stop believing
And leave me all alone without you by my side
And I guess we’ll never know just how the dream will finish
How I wish that you would give it one more try
If you just took a chance, you know I love you so
We could have had it all instead you just let go
Someday you’ll look back on your life fully regretting
Thinking words I spoke before we said goodbye
I’ll be the one who got away, the only one you can’t forget
A reminder of the things you wish you could have done and said
I’ll be the song that goes unwritten, a hidden gift you can not find
And when you think about me, I’ll be the dream that you lost once upon a time
And when you think about me. I’ll be the dream that you lost once upon a time
