This is the memory of a girl
Who's heart was built (and broke)
On dreams her withered soul couldn't bear
And all her days would stoke...

* ` * ` *

She wasn't very pretty,
Or perfect, much less smart.
And all this lonely girl could do
Was sing with all her heart...

She'd drift into a reverie,
Her eyes would glaze in bliss
As she would wish on every star
That she could feel a kiss

From True Love once he'd found her and
She'd run away from all
The troubles that befell her while
She longed for love to call...

She'd sing of how he'd look into
Her eyes and stroke her hair...
He'd tell she had made his days
Since he had found her there.

And he would smile at her and say
That they were meant to be.
He'd tell her she was beautiful
"You take the breath from me."

She'd sing until her heart was sore
From knowing bitter truth.
But she holds tight to all her dreams,
Like every other youth

Who's ever dreamed that they could know
How love could make them feel...
Before they wake from Reverie
And realize it's not real...
