Lyrics
I've been a dreamer all of my life
Believing dreams can come true
I've lived with the feeling, not satisfied
With only the image of you
A moment in time, a place in the sun
Can never be all it may seem
For I've come to know, when it's all said and done
A dream is only a dream
Somewhere, somehow, I found something more
Than only a sweet state of mind
Fulfilling a need and no longer leave
My heart suspended in time
I know what I feel, I know what is real
I know, because I was there
And all I can say, I've had it both ways
And the dream could never compare
All I can say, I've had it both ways
And the dream could never compare

He still had it with this last song that he recorded. It's wonderful. I am listening to Waylon all day on this 20th anniversary of his passing. Such a beautiful voice no matter what the song! I pretty much listen to him some every day. Can't believe it's been 20 years since his voice was stilled.

Hello Sue how are you doing today???

@suewilford8337.I totally agree with you you Sue. I miss Waylon so much also to think that he died on the 13th of February 2002 .He was taken away from us all far to early in his short life , but none shall compare with our Waylon. He had such a unique style voice that no one shall ever be able to duplicate in anyway no matter how much they try as he was a GENIUS and a true LEGEND in our lives Sue .l hope you do not mind me writing this text to you .kind regards being sent to you from Elizabeth in Scotland ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

@ELIZABETH HUGHES I'm very glad you wrote your comment, Elizabeth. I agree with every word. I depend on Waylon's music to get me thru some rough days. His voice can make me feel good even when I don't want to, when I listen to his upbeat music, but I love pretty much everything he did. Slow, fast, sad, happy, heartbreaking, thought provoking, biographical, nonsense, bluesy, and the whole show. His appeal was/is worldwide!! What a talent! Best regards right back to you... you kinda made my day (you and Waylon).
