This is a classic Wilcox song, except he didn't write it. Buddy Mondlock did.
For me, this song isn't just about fanciful, never-fulfilled wishes. For me, the dreams in this song carry hope. A boy who dreams of the spice trade while failing his test in school may yet succeed in his adult years -- even succeed brilliantly -- as this kind of imagination cannot be taught and is a power greater than rote knowledge.
Similarly, we don't know the ending of the lovers' tale. Does she stay? or not? Perhaps she does.
This song is my namesake. "Time was talking / guess I just wasn't listening / No surprise if you know me well." That's me to a T.
The end of the lovers' tale is that was all in his imagination. When you listen to the song, the music changes mid-verse, and at the same time the lyric goes from reality to the world of imagination. Only in imagination did they get together. Great tune!!
