Slightly Mad

I remember sundays in the park

Evening prayers in the dark

Sweet dreams of wings of hope

Eyes wide open as a new morning broke

I am desperate and I am nostalgic

Clinging to the past

As for tomorrow, I do believe

This carrousel will pass

Beyond the point of no returning

Good things never last

And it makes me sad and just slightly mad!

In my memories still homeward bound

Those days were like a merry-go-round

Youth didn't come to soon

Sweet temptation sweet perfume

I am desperate and I am nostalgic

Clinging to the past

As for tomorrow, I do believe

This carrousel will pass

Beyond the point of no returning

Good things never last

And it makes me sad and just slightly mad!

I remember sundays in the park

Evening prayers in the dark

Sweet dreams of wings of hope

Eyes wide open as a new morning broke

In my memories still homeward bound

Those days were like a merry-go-round

Youth didn't come to soon

Sweet temptation sweet perfume

Am I being over-nostalgic?

Dreaming of the past

The world today - I'm just not so sure

If life's worth living for

There were times, I was optimistic

We should have made it last

But now I'm just so sad

Don't be desperate, don't be frantic

I'm clinging to the past

I've got all the love you need

How could I made it last

It's peaceful here and so romantic

Instead I let it pass

Now don't be sad, don't be sad

Don't be desperate, don't be frantic

I'm clinging to the past

To a dream you thought could come real

That hope is fading fast

It's peaceful here and so romantic

Instead I let it pass

Come back and stay, we'll find a way

Please, let me stay
