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
