A Lonely Man's Dream



A Lonely Man's Dream

I wish I could write a love song
 A song that would take away the pain
 A song about a very lonely man
 Too many times hurt and used for someone else's gain

 A song that could renew some trust and faith
 To a heart one time too many broken and torn
 A song to fill the heart full of joy and happiness
 Replace all the bad memories, darkness and scorn

 If only such a song could be written
 That could portray the true meaning of love
 So many difficult questions could be answered
 The sun would shine so much brighter above

 Am I a fool, and all this just a dream
 To think a simple song could be the answer
 Nevertheless, I think I will continue to hope and sing
 Even if sometimes it comes out only in a whisper
