Dreams of Love We Knew

A moment out of time – a picture in my mind

Smiling as we’re planting a garden

But now the weeds have grown – the seeds were left unsown

And all the crimson roses have darkened

Forgotten dreams gone by – neglecting paradise

We took our whole world for granted

But I’m hoping – the dreams of love we knew will start to grow again

I’m hoping – the fields we’re walking through will bring us home again

In cultivating love again – we’ll open up and heal

By tearing down our walls we will feel - what’s real

As life drew us away from fields in which we played

Our precious times together all ended

The obligations rose with feelings growing cold

For like a garden love must be tended

I’m digging in the clay – to find our yesterday

And feed the love that we planted

And I’m hoping – the dreams of love we knew will start to grow again

I’m hoping – the fields we’re walking through will bring us home again

We closed the gate to paradise and couldn’t find the key

We locked away the love that we need

But I’m hoping – the dreams of love we knew will start to grow again

I’m hoping – the fields we’re walking through will bring us home again

In cultivating love again – we’ll open up and heal

By tearing down our walls we will feel - what’s real

We’ll plant another row and watch our garden grow

Then find the dreams of love we once knew
