Giving Up On My Dreams
So many dreams I dream at night
In your arms as I’m held tight
Yet so many dreams I know won’t come true
Many of those dreams are concerning life with you
I’ve dreamt of splendor and such happy times
In things written in such passion filled rhymes
I’ve dreamt of tomorrow by your side
One day walking down the aisle as your bride
I’ve dreamt of magical times shared in bliss
Dreams of romance touched with an innocent kiss
So many things I’ve dreamed through the years
Some happy and yet some filled with tears
Yet today I realize that some dreams aren’t meant to be
For some dreams in life I may never actually see
With that in mind I’ve decided to let go
And not dwell on those dreams I once wanted so
I’m giving up on my dreams and letting them pass
Not reaching any longer for that ring of brass
For that brass ring has went beyond my reach
A lesson I’ve learnt and never needed to teach
All those dreams I had hoping to come true one day
Seems to have just drifted further and further away
Once those dreams meant so much to me
Yet the truth of the matter they just weren’t meant to be
I’m giving up on the things that I know aren’t mine to know
So many of my dreams right now, I’m just letting go
And as I close my eyes and fade off tonight
Those dreams are gone and no longer in sight
I’m letting go of my dreams and letting them fade
For it was not meant to be ever dreams in which love was made
