Just a Dream
Jimmy Clanton Lyrics
Just a dream, just a dream (just a dream)
All our plans and all our schemes (all our schemes)
How could I think you'd be mine (you'd be mine)
Those lies I'd tell myself each time
I know that we could never last (never last)
You just can't seem to in the past (in the past)
Just a dream I dream in vain (dream in vain)
With you I'd only live in pain
I can still hear that same mournful song
And now I sit here crying, oh yeah
Please leave me alone
Why, why do I love you (I love you)
How can I live in misery (misery)
I know that I won't forget you (forget you)
But now I know it's too late for me (too late for me)
Play it, boy
Your picture is always with me
I can still hear that same mournful song
And now I sit here crying, oh yeah
Please leave me alone
Why, why do I love you (I love you)
How can I live in misery (misery)
I know that I won't forget you (forget you)
But now I know it's too late
No, it's never too late
With folks like you around
For me
Oh, oh, oh, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah

I think it's adorable that you're 27 and like this music. I was the same way in my 20's. My taste in the oldies hasn't changed. It's great music
