Might-have-beens

\nWhen you met me at the airport there was laughter in your eyes
\nAnd you wrapped me up in kisses and you filled my heart with sighs.
\nWhen you took me round your city and you showed me where you live,
\nYou gave me the greatest present and you’re such a lot to give.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 These aren’t memories but wishes,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Merely hopes and might-have-beens,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 You’re a menu full of dishes
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 And a theatre full of scenes.<\/p>\n
When we danced across the oceans, found a lonely desert isle,
\nWhen you showed me all the secrets to a life of grace and style,
\nI was lost inside your beauty and the sights you longed to see
\nAnd we walked a million byways in the land of you and me.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 These aren’t memories but wishes,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Merely hopes and might-have-beens,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 You’re a menu full of dishes
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 And a theatre full of scenes.<\/p>\n
We were seagulls riding thermals, soaring higher than the clouds
\nAnd were just two hopeful no-ones lost in rushing city crowds.
\nWe held hands to watch the sunset, and let go just after dawn;
\nYou’ve been in my heart forever since the day that I was born.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 These aren’t memories but wishes,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Merely hopes and might-have-beens,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 You’re a menu full of dishes
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 And a theatre full of scenes.<\/p>\n
In our futures we’ll go dancing, to an orchestra of love,
\nWe’ll be friends who ride a rainbow as it paints the grey above.
\nYou will hold me as you hold me in the dreams I dream each night,
\nAnd the years of only dreaming will have faded out of sight.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 These aren’t memories but wishes,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Merely hopes and might-have-beens,
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 You’re a menu full of dishes
\n\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 And a theatre full of scenes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
