Melancholy Dreams

As I look back over my life and visit memory lane,
I’m bombarded with a lot of melancholy dreams.
I find that I never really reached my potential,
I’ve had a lot of almost ‘s but not quite there.
What is a girl to do? Just give up on dreams?
I think not, I will keep dreaming because I 
believe dreams really do come true no matter what.
