Dreams of Love
Morning sunlight fades to grey
As the black clouds fill my mind
The sorrow is too much
To me it seems to bind
My life seems a reckless pain
Where nothing will go right
My heart wants to reach to you
But you have already left my life
The birds cry softly outside my window
Echoing my internal pain
I whisper your name in a desperate plea
But you cannot hear and its all in vain
I drag my lifeless feet out of bed
And stumble to the sink
The man I see across from me
Shocks me, frightens me
Since everything had gone wrong
I had not really cared.
My eyes were sunken in
My hair a tangled mess
But today was the day I would change for the best
And become the man I wanted to be
Not stuck to what you wanted any more
For I am a simple man
A dreaming man
A happy man
I will be changed to a better man
For I have a plan today
There is that girl I always knew
I loved her the best,
More than you
The girl who always stood aside
And watched me
Watched
As I pushed her by
The girl who just waited for me to see
Who I really wanted to be
The mistake I was making being with you
You lied to me, I lied to you.
The truth in our relationship would never last
She knew that one day I would open my eyes
And see how I should push you by
OH! For I am a simple man
A dreaming man
A happy man
I will be changed to a better man
For I have a plan today
I walk down the street
Singing a tune
Dancing away
To my musical tune
Running down the street
Becoming happier with each step
Thinking how life would never be the same
In a much better way
I stop in front of the shop
Fixing my tie
Turning the handle
And walking inside
OH! OH! For I am a simple man
A dreaming man
A happy man
I will be changed to a better man
For I have a plan today
I ask the man at the countertop
If she is here
If she is here
The man hits me with a devastating blow
She is not here
She is not here
I walk away a helpless man
For she is not here
I cannot kiss the lass
I walk to the train station to head to my job
To board the train
To let my head float away in dreaming thoughts
Dreams that can’t and never will be true
But in your head a dreams a dream
A thoughts a thought
Everything is never as it seems
It’s a place to escape away
From the pain of the world
To the pain you’ve felt today
Suddenly I feel a tap
A gentle nudge
Hear a gentle laugh
One that sounds like a thousand bells
Swaying in the wind
That beautiful sound
I stand up and see her there
Grab her arms
And stare into her eyes
In them is hope and fear.
I stroke her hair back from her face
And lean down
She was eager to find out what I will do
If her love is mine
And I smile and give her a kiss
A gentle kiss
An eager kiss
For I smiled and gave her a kiss
Full of passion, love and fading pain
Oh, for I am a simple man
A dreaming man
A happy man
I will be changed to a better man
For I have a plan today
