Clinging To A Precious Dream

Clinging to a precious dream That's now a thorny rose, Floating through the atmosphere Upon the wind that blows, And passing by so quickly as My destiny runs wild, With all the hopes of long ago And memories of a child. Clinging to a precious dream Yet still it's not come true, The hope grows ever distant now But no more can I do, And when I sleep and wake again Each day seems like the last, I think of all my choices made And chances that have passed. Clinging to a precious dream As love now fades away, I cannot hold it anymore My loneliness will stay, My life has been just like the waves Upon the restless sea, And now I know my precious dream Was never meant to be.
