Maybe I'm A Dreamer
Maybe I'm a dreamer,
Oh babe I guess it's true.
But all I ever do dear
Is Dream,
Dream of you.
Maybe I'm a dreamer,
I guess it's a fact.
But when I get to where
I'm dreamin' of,
I'm never comin' back.
And if you don't come with me dear,
Then where will you be?
You'll still be a dreamer,
Just like me
You can't live on wishes,
Yeah that's the way it seems.
But how can anything come true,
If you don't first have a dream?
Maybe I'm a dreamer,
Oh babe I guess it's true.
But all I ever do dear
Is Dream,
Dream of you.
A man has a dream
And he works so hard.
Then he dies in the middle of his life,
While mowing his yard.
Not me baby,
I want to live!
Our life here is oh so short,
And it never forgives.
You can't live on wishes,
Yeah that's the way it seems.
But how can anything come true,
If you don't first have a dream?
Maybe I'm a dreamer,
Oh babe I know it's true.
But all I've ever done dear
Is dream,
Dream of you

(This is a lullaby that I wrote for
my High School sweetheart after she informed me that her
family told her to ditch me because I was a "dreamer".)
