Dear Charlotte

Memory conveys that you were something to be

When you weren't held captive in an aged body

You had a family that needed you and job security

You had everything a man could ever need

But where did your children go? Where is your family?

Did they turn into the adults that you always hoped they'd

be?

Did you finally retire from that job that tortured you?

I thought all your dreams had come true

So why are you depressed when your life is at it's best

Is it really cause it's not what it seems?

Or are you unable to see that you should be happy

'Cause your still living in yesterday's dreams

Your eldest son reminds you of the way life used to be

When you didn't bear the chains of matrimony

You had no job that you hated, no responsibility

You were youthful and careless and free

And the woman you wed, she seemed better in bed

When there wasn't a ring on her finger

Yes your life seemed all right when you partied all night

Those days are gone, does the flavor still linger?

Don't tell me life would be great if you were reprobate

And had friends who were losers and fiends

You've a family a wife and a meaningful life

But you're still holding on to yesterdays dreams

Loneliness reduces you to disharmony

Life seems so hopeless and melancholy

You're still young but you can't find the strength to move on

Now that the woman who loves you is gone

Did you find she wasn't so close when you needed her most

Is it hard facing up to rejection?

You might understand that she needed a man

But you're still seeking maternal protection

Don't give up you're still young and your life's just begun

At every corner opportunity screams

Sometimes life is abrupt but it's time to grow up

And stop clinging to yesterday's dreams
