Dreams of Yesterday

Trav’lin’ down a dreamer’s road where love was not to be
I turned ‘round, where I could see Sweet Mary followin’ me

She was a beauty fair and kind with eyes of emerald green
There in the dreams of a young man’s heart the brightest I’d ever seen

Mary Sweet Mary, please marry me, those words I’ll never say
But I’ll be thankful anyways for dreams of yesterday

When I awoke I realized all was just a dream
That love, those eyes, to my surprise nothin‘ but fantasy

Life may last a thousand years, dreams for just a day
Mary may not be her name but love will still remain

Youthful dreams can be it seems oh so real at times
If not for castles in the air love would never be so inclined
