|
She came from a poor home |
|
On the wrong side of the river |
|
Where she played out in the streets |
|
And dreamed of better |
|
He came from the farmland |
|
Where he worked hard every day |
|
Like a prince in shining armor |
|
He came and took her away |
|
And she never had to work |
|
A day in her life |
|
Everything she needed he provides |
|
She was sweet 16 |
|
And he was 22 |
|
She'd never had a lover |
|
And he had had a few |
|
He had his heart broken |
|
By a he called his wife |
|
But in her he saw a new hope |
|
A chance for a better life |
|
And never did their love ever fade |
|
And never have their hearts ever strayed |
|
But today they sit in different rooms |
|
In the same house |
|
Watching different TVs |
|
They hardly ever speak |
|
They get together to sleep and eat |
|
And I wonder, do they remember me? |
|
Or am I just one of their dreams |
|
That didn't work out? |
|
I bet they'd given up on me by now |
|
All they ever wanted out of life |
|
Was a house and a car |
|
And money in the bank |
|
They worked hard |
|
For such a long long time |
|
But at last they got all of those things |
|
So what do you do |
|
When all of your dreams come true? |
