Les Reed And His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And my reverie
Brings you back to me
For in my imagination
Love has lingered on
As though you'd never gone.
This is just a dream that cannot last
So I sit in meditation
Trying to pretend this mood will never end.
I am lost in meditation
And my reverie
Brings you back to me
For in my imagination
Love has lingered on
As though you'd never gone.
This is just a dream that cannot last
When the magic of this mood has passed.
So I sit in meditation
Trying to pretend this mood will never end.

I am lost in meditation
I am completely immersed in deep thought and contemplation.
And my reverie
And my daydream transports me to a different place and time.
Brings you back to me
Brings memories of you flooding back into my mind.
For in my imagination
Because in my mind's eye,
Love has lingered on
Love has remained in my heart,
As though you'd never gone.
As if you had never left and were still here with me.
This is just a dream that cannot last
These feelings are only temporary and cannot be sustained.
When the magic of this mood has passed.
When this momentary feeling fades away into reality.
So I sit in meditation
So I continue to reflect deeply and think about these feelings.
Trying to pretend this mood will never end.
Trying to convince myself that this moment of love and happiness will never leave.
