Melinda
MARK
This is a dream, Melinda
Just a mirage, so they say
This whole affair they all declare
Was dreamed each step of the way
You're a mere dream, Melinda
Out for a gay little spin
Dealing me lies before my eyes
Of days that never have been
There's no Melinda, they say for sure
But don't go, Melinda
I know and you know
That you're no mere dream, Melinda
Gone when thе dawn gleam is through
You and I know that long ago
Before thе dream there was you
There once was you
MARK (MELINDA)
(Open your eyes)
There was Melinda
(There's a sapphire sky above us)
I know for sure
(High above us)
But don't go, Melinda
(Made for you when you open your heart)
I know and you know
MARK (MELINDA AND DAVID)
That you're no mere dream, Melinda
(Open your eyes)
Gone when the dawn gleam is through
(And you'll see how this)
You and I know that long ago
(Night can seem)
Before the dream there was you
(More unreal than a dream)
There once was you
MARK (MELINDA AND DAVID)
(More unreal)
There once
MARK
Was you
DAVID
Than a dream
MELINDA
Open your eyes
