Forgotten Dreams

Intro: Em D C   D    Em

      Em           D
There was a time I used to know
  C        D    Em
I knew the way ahead
  Em            D
I had a love to share my life
    Am               Em
But now that love is dead
    Am                 G
She packed her bags, I watched her go
     Am            B
What was it that I said
    Em             D                          Em D C   D  Em
And all that I was left with were my dreams
 

           Em
 Forgotten dreams
      Am         Em      Em
 They come to me again
              G
 They take me back
     Am                   Em   Em
 And show what I had then
     F
 The times we had together
      Em
 They meant so much to me
     B7
 But nothing lasts forever
                  Em      D   C   D Em
 Except forgotten dreams

Now all I’m left are memories
Of the way we used to be
I only wish I’d realised then
How much she meant to me
But now we’ve gone our separate ways
And sadly I am free
To spend my life remembering long lost dreams
 
I’m sure there’s hurt and sadness that
I’m not quite over yet
Despite the pain, I love her still
And never will forget
The trust I gave, the fun we shared
I know I won’t regret
There’s nothing wrong with living in my dreams
