She came from a poor home On the wrong side of the river Where she played out in the streets And dreamed of better He came from the farmland Where he worked hard every day Like a prince in shining armor He came and took her away And she never had to work A day in her life Everything she needed he provides She was sweet 16 And he was 22 She'd never had a lover And he had had a few He had his heart broken By a he called his wife But in her he saw a new hope A chance for a better life And never did their love ever fade And never have their hearts ever strayed But today they sit in different rooms In the same house Watching different TVs They hardly ever speak They get together to sleep and eat And I wonder, do they remember me? Or am I just one of their dreams That didn't work out? I bet they'd given up on me by now All they ever wanted out of life Was a house and a car And money in the bank They worked hard For such a long long time But at last they got all of those things So what do you do When all of your dreams come true?
