True Love Is Just a Dream
In your words I hear a promise
To love and keep me safe
In your touch I feel forever
Memories and love to make
In the song you play for me
Loves melody is clear
I have no faith in love and men
The lies are what I fear
You lean in and kiss my lips
A taste of berries fine
But chains of fear bind me
So there I draw the line
This is the wall time has built
To protect me from thee
For all that I have ever known
Is true love is just a dream
