I lost a dream today

I lost a dream today, I can’t find it anywhere!

It was here in my pocket; I just put it there!

I clambered down on my knees; maybe it fell under my chair

But oh, oh, I lost a dream today, it’s not there!

I lost a dream today, and I should honestly be frantic;

I thought it would always be there - but you know dreams,

those fickle things. Gossamer dust, you turn around

and they disappear in a puff.

This dream I held in my hand,

it was so small, so tiny -

but I swear it was there, it existed,

I left it in my pocket as I took a call

But after that, I couldn’t find it anymore.

I just lost it.
