ONE TIME YOU WERE MINE

There was once in my life
That I fell in love with;
There was once in my life
That a man I truly care with.

Summertime turns to winter,
Days turns to years
But my heart felt sad...
Because those feelings were left within.

One time I had a dream
You were kissing my lips;
One time I had a dream
Your arms were entangled with mine.

One time I had a dream
Your embrace was so warm;
One time I had a dream
That Lem was mine.

And yes, those dreams came true!
So I cherished the time that I have you,
I cherished the moment that I've kissed you,
I cherished the second that I've hugged you.

But I know, dreams will come into an end.
So now, I wanted to thank you
For the memories we have and shared;
I wanted to thank you
For the love I felt was real and true;
I wanted to thank you
That once in my life I have you.
