[MARC]
This is a dream, Melinda
Just a mirage, so they say
This whole affair
They all declare
Was dreamed each step of the way

You're a mere dream, Melinda
Out for a gay little spin
Dealing 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 glimmers through
You and I know
That long ago
Before the dream there was you
There once was you
