Wishful Thinking

My dearest darling
It's now three in the morning
And at this moment
Sleep escapes me
The moon is full
And the stars are bright
Framed by a veil of your memories

Once again, loneliness is a reality
As these thoughts of you come to me
Are you free from life's shadows of despair?
Does happiness still surround you?
As I remember you when I was there
Does a rainbow still curve your lovely smile?
A smile so silent, yet saying more than a thousand words could say
Has time changed the seasoning of your heart
For the flavors of my mind?

By chance, do I ever cross your mind
'Nother as much as you cross mine?
Does your love still linger on?
Even though, even though, my love, I'm gone?
Do I appear in your dreams?
Does a summer night bring back memories?
Or am I just some long lost dream?
For whom your love comes and leaves when I go?

If this is so, oh baby
Just let me know, oh
Don't leave me hanging on
Daydreaming, wishful thinking

Is your skin still soft to the touch?
Do you wear your hair the way I loved so much?
Do you still walk through the dew on the lawn?
Do your eyes awaken as sweet as the dawn?
When asked who has your love to claim
Do you reply giving my name?
And when people try to tear you down
Do you let them know our love is on solid ground?

If this is so, oh baby
Please let me know, oh, oh baby
Don't leave me hanging on
Daydreaming, wishful thinking

Ooh baby, yeah
What do you say, say?
What do you say, baby?
My love, oh, if this is so, oh baby

Well, my love
I know I've been gone for a long time
So whatever you choose to do, I'll understand
Because a girl as lovely as you
Can't wait for what must seem like forever for a guy like me
I only pray that time hasn't taken away your love
Maybe when I return we can pick up the pieces
And join the links that made us once one
Wishful thinking, Leroy
