Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- Nothing ever turned out just as I planned it
And oh, what dreams I’ve always had in my mind
Seems that I must go through life empty handed
For even in our love affair I find
Chorus
Another dream gone wrong, another came along
You left me with another dream gone wrong
My castles in the air are far beyond repair
Our love was just another dream gone wrong
Somebody ended a dream that was splendid
A love I intended to be sweeter than a song
What future can there be without you loving me?
Another scheme, another dream gone wrong
- Nights have always promised brighter tomorrows
But dreamland joys have always vanished at dawn
Now a broken dream of love leaves me sorrows
With this in mind, how can I carry on?
