Fantastic Dreams of Simple Minds

Oh, the longings of a heart
                  Still waiting for romance to start
Such youthful whims and teenage dreams
                 They haunt my memory, it seems

Though cars and clothes in dancing beat
                   distracted from l’amour’s defeat
I knew they’d never ease the void
                of urgent dreams yet unemployed

To love and be loved for all time
                         the requisite for life sublime
And so I persevered and found 
             The heart to which my love is bound
 
Though many years have furthered by
                                 Emotions only magnify
So I recall as life rewinds
                 Fantastic dreams of simple minds
