I wrote a letter to you my friend   So many letters that I never send   I think about you at the day's end      The time that we had   I laughed in my bed   The stupid things you said   We were two birds of paradise      When I was a little girl   With clay horses and lambs on the shelf   I caught frogs in ditches and listened for elves   My friends and I had a world unto ourselves      No grownups could find us when we   Made our plans so secretly   To run away and fly to be   With the two birds of paradise      Now once upon a time my mind still there wanders   Back in the room the things I remember   One time when we took off our clothes   But you were cryin', cryin'      You said nothing lasts forever   We were happy together   I thought about you in Stockholm and Rome   Me in my hotel room, you in your home      This is the life they say that dreams are made of   Don't forget, please do forgive me   I still have something you did give me   Come into my dreams along with me and dream      Please don't forget, do forgive me   I still have something you did give me   Come into my dreams along with me and dream   Oh dream of paradise
