A million old soldiers will fade away
But a dream goes on forever
I'm left standing here, I've got nothing to say
All is silent within my dream
A thousand true loves will live and die
But a dream lives on forever
The days and the years will go streaking by
But the time has stopped in my dream
We all have our everyday hopes and fears
And you'll find no exception in me
But that doesn't get me through a sea of tears
Over life's biggest tragedy
You're so long ago and so far away
But my dream lives on forever
I guess I believe that I'll see you one day
For without it there is no dream
You're so far away and so long ago
But my dream goes on forever
And how much I loved you you'll never know
'Til you join me within my dream
But a dream goes on forever
I'm left standing here, I've got nothing to say
All is silent within my dream
A thousand true loves will live and die
But a dream lives on forever
The days and the years will go streaking by
But the time has stopped in my dream
We all have our everyday hopes and fears
And you'll find no exception in me
But that doesn't get me through a sea of tears
Over life's biggest tragedy
You're so long ago and so far away
But my dream lives on forever
I guess I believe that I'll see you one day
For without it there is no dream
You're so far away and so long ago
But my dream goes on forever
And how much I loved you you'll never know
'Til you join me within my dream

totally "in love at 1st sight" with a beautiful "out of my league-sweet sixteen" blonde.
Who had transferred from another school.
Anyway, for some reason she seemed to have an interest in me also, however anytime
I had an opportunity to talk to her I would freeze up and I later found out she already had a
boyfriend, who she soon married, than divorced soon after.
A couple of years after graduating I discovered she was working at the local hardware
store. Once again, froze like a deer caught in the headlights when I had an opportunity to talk. If I had I probably would have found out she had gotten divorced and maybe an acutal chance of asking her out. BUT NOOO!!!
Several months later, I'm at a small party date less of course and guess who comes in
with a new boyfriend.
The only good thing about it was that I had a few drinks and we were actually able to
have a conversation that night. And I was able to let her know in a round about way (which she already knew) how I felt about her.
I believe she ended up marrying her new boyfriend.
Anyway, one of many great songs by Todd.
That song will always remind me of Cathy W.
