Lyrics of Melinda

This is a dream melinda
Just a mirage, so they say
This whole affair they all declare
Was dreamed every step of the way
You're a mere dream, melinda
Out for a gaily loose spin
Telling me lies before my eyes
Of days that never have been
There's no melinda, they say for sure

But don't go melinda
I know and you know
That you're no mere dream, melinda
Gone when the dawn gleam is through
You and i know that long ago
Before the dream there was you
There was, was you
