i wrote a letter to you my friend so many letters that i never send i think about you at the day s end the time that we had i laughed in my bed the stupid things you said we were two birds of paradise when i was a little girl with clay horses and lambs on the shelf i caught frogs in ditches listened for elves my friends and i had a world unto ourselves no grownups could find us when we made our plans so secretly to run away ever to be with the birds of paradise once upon a time my mind still there wanders back in your room the things i remember one time when we took off our clothes but you were cryin cryin you said nothing lasts forever we were happy together i thought about you in stockholm and rome me in my hotel room you in your home this is the life they say that dreams are made of but don t forget and please do forgive me i still have that something you did give me i meant to write but dreams will outlive me and dream and please don t forget do forgive me i still have that something you did give me i meant to write but dreams will outlive me and dream of and dream of paradise
