I Built a Dream

Tough saying good-bye on that autumn night
Promises kisses then went our own way
I walked chill Chicago streets
You flew to Cape Cod Bay
Cape Cod Bay

I missed you so an eternal winter
Icy winds would knock me off my feet
Day and night I obsessed on you
Loves like ours live in history
I actually believed

I built a dream out of little things
Could never come true
A fantasy so wild and crazy
Would never be me and you
Never me and you

Few gentle touches, little nothings at all
Lit a fire in my mind
Lonely, I nourished a roaring bonfire
Love for the ages, the face of time
So young and blind

First taste of springtime, went east to hold you
Saw you didn’t even say hello
You couldn’t match illusions, gone with the wind
Bonfire didn’t leave a glow
Didn’t leave a glow
