Once away, we had a chance to fly No one took the step So afraid, so content Dance with me to this old melody I'll pretend that summer has come To my heart once again Once were hopes, once were dreams Now I live in my mind So sing me a song Of dreams long gone Of memories fading And ghosts of a long lost time Far away, somewhere across the seas Through our fallen skies Was a hope, was a prayer Tortured mind, a peace that you'll never know Will you take me there If I break down my walls, stop the fight Once there were promises Now there's ashes and dust So sing me a song Of dreams long gone Of memories fading And ghosts of a long lost time Old spirits hold me tight Old memories haunt me tonight One day I'll fly away and leave this world behind I have no hope for a tomorrow I have been waiting for so long And I'm swept up in a waltz of reminiscence As I laugh and dance and sing my lonely song So sing me a song Of dreams long gone Of memories fading And ghosts of a long lost time
