Dreams for Plans

Once upon a time you and I

When we were green and easy

Fresh as limes, and happy as a Sunday sky

There was nothing we could sell or buy

'Cause all we really needed

Was our bare feet and a pair of wings to fly

What do you think, darling?

Have we lived too much, too fast?

And have you, have you felt the melancholy, darling

Wishing the time hadn't passed?

Can you tell me how it used to be?

Have we missed our chance?

Have we changed our hopes for fears

And our dreams for plans?

Can you tell me how it used to be

When we really cared?

And when love was on our side

On our side

I remember all the times before

When we could spend our living

Staring at the ceiling, lying on the floor

My vocabulary wasn't broad

I spoke so little English

And the word "stress" would sound like something odd

What do you think, darling?

Have I lived too much, too fast?

And have you, have you felt the melancholy, darling

Wishing the time hadn't passed?

Can you tell me how it used to be?

Have we missed our chance?

Have we changed our hopes for fears

And our dreams for plans?

Can you tell me how it used to be

When we really cared?

And when love was on our side

On our side

What is your guess, darling?

Have I lived too much, too fast?

So if you, if you ever come and find me crying

Now you know, now you know why

Can you tell me how I used to be?

Have I missed my chance?

Have I changed my hopes for fears

And my dreams for plans?

Can you tell me how it used to be

When we really cared?

And when love was on our side

On our side
