Once

A story of boy and girl Alone in a crowded world. Somebody to hold my hand; Give hope in a hopeless land. When you are here with me Things just don't stay the same. Thoughts about you fill my mind; Everything's ok. Lost in a dream I can dream of what you have seen. Now, close our eyes and together dream everything. But I sit alone again, Waiting here for a friend. I knew that you would come by. Now I know it was a lie. Once in a dream I could see how it ought to be. Dancing with you all alone sharing everything. Lost in a land far away happiness would reign. Waiting here now I know a dream it will remain. Now I sit alone again. Same story never ends. A boy from a distant land; But who really holds my hand? Waiting here for you and me, I wonder if we will be. Darkness comes upon the land. Again it's alone I stand. ©1988 Grant Grueninger
