all my beautiful dreams (rewrite 1)

all my beautiful dreams

have disappeared, one by one

leaving me to be alone

with only my regrets

all my beautiful dreams

vanished beneath the sun

and I am here to break even

and pay off my debts

all the bets I did not win

all the pleasures of the skin

I cannot go back again

my life proceeds downstream

oh, how I miss

all my beautiful dreams

I used to have a hopeful heart

it's always been that way

until the years kept spinning 

towards the end of time

now I see fragments

of long lost younger days

fading in the distance

with memories left behind

all the promises not kept

every night I left unslept

every single tear I've wept

I'm not sure what they mean

oh, how I miss

all my beautiful dreams

all my beautiful dreams

will live inside my soul

no matter what I do

I cannot keep control

I try to make them vanish

I tell myself they're through

but still they keep on talking

I don't know what to do

every word that I have said

all these failures in my head

still, the dreams remain undead

though they're never seen

oh, how I miss

all my beautiful dreams

oh, how I miss

all those beautiful dreams
