by K.V. for his wife Christine whom he first met in Liverpool

Stan and K.V. met, wrote and sang
this together at Dingle, Ireland on Midsummer's Day, 2006: [ Mp3 File size: 4.3 Mbytes; Play time: 4 min 41 secs ] Faded dreams going through a phase, Suffering years of disgrace, My mind tells me to let things be, But my heart still fights the stormy seas. She left me at the altar, With a ring in my hand, Dreams, why did they falter? Bitter right till the end, Faded dreams renew my damaged soul, Tell me why she said “no”, Aching heart displaced and torn, Happiness still waits to be born. Lose the chains of anger, Get new dreams from the strand, Memories be a stranger, Hide the ring from my hand, Shattered dreams, golden ring, What should I do with it? Find another finger that fits, Wonder what tomorrow will bring? I will put the ring back in its case, Sign of sorrow replaced, I will search so cautiously, For someone to share her love with me. She’ll be there at the altar, With a ring in her hand, Dreams renewed never falter, She will make our life grand, With a ring in her hand. With my ring in her hand. |
