Melinda

This is a dream, Melinda
Just a mirage, so they say
This one affair they all declare
Was dreamed each step of the way

You're a mere dream, Melinda
Out for a gay little spin
Dealing me lies before my eyes
Of day that never have been

There's no Melinda
They say for sure
But don't go Melinda
I know, and you know

That you're no mere dream, Melinda
Gone when the dawn gleam is through
You and I know
That long ago
Before the dream there was you

There once was you
