Once I Had Dreams

(Th. Tol/J. Tuijp/C. Tol)

I remember your face
Your jokes and your laughter
The smell of your perfume
Your warming embrace
All those moments
And the way that you smiled every night, every day
Were just moments
For it all passed away

You sit there so silent
I know that you're waiting
To talk about him
But he didn't feel up
To being near you
Still you hope to abide and to find consolation
But I could have told you
'Cause it happened before

Once I had dreams
I will always remember
So sad, but it happens that way
But I don't wanna say things that would grieve you
Though I feel that it all slips away

You were so afraid
To be part of a showdown
But you know me too well
It wouldn't happen to you
I won't abuse you
Even now that I know I will lose you again
Precious moments
But they all passed away

Once I had dreams
I will always remember
So sad, but it happens that way
But I don't wanna say things that would grieve you
Though I feel that it all slips away

Once I had dreams
I will always remember
So sad, but it happens that way
But I don't wanna say things that would grieve you
Though I feel that it all slips away
