I Wish I Had A Record
( Of The Promises You Made )
I wish I had a record
of the
promises you made
so that I could play it back to you.
That record
would remind you,
once, you said love wouldn't fade
and that you would
never be untrue!
What happened to that cottage
of
which we always spoke?
Was it just a pipe dream
that went up in
smoke?
I wish I had a record
of how close
you said we'd be
so that I could play it back to you,
and maybe you'd
come back to me!

Was it just a pipe dream
that went up in

I wish I had a record
of how close
you said we'd be
so that I could play it back to you . . .
and maybe
you'd come back . . .
to me!
