The Park of Broken Dreams

The night was long , so cold and dark.
Snow was falling in the park.
Like a black-white movie scene ,
The one you have already seen.
Under dim street lamp`s light
She was walking through that night.
Past the gates and past the trees ,
Full of cherished memories ,
Fragile hopes , that`d gone away ,
Vanished , turned to yesterday.
She looked back and asked them why
Did her dreams went pass her by ,
And the world said silently
It just wasn`t meant to be.
