In spring I dreamed of summer's sun,
And all the things that I'd get done.
In summer I did dream of fall,
And lovely times we would have all.
In fall I dreamed of winter's due,
When rest and travel would come true.
And now that winter's finally here,
I dream of all the wasted years.
I dream of times we should have shared,
When all were still alive who cared.
I dreamed away my life it seems,
Instead of living it, I dreamed.
Longed for tomorrow every day,
And now I long for yesterday.
I wish I'd lived each day awake,
Left precious moments in my wake.
But wisdom comes too late I fear,
Too many dreams and wasted years.
