Johnny Mathis - Melinda lyrics

This is a dream Melinda Just a mirage, so they say This whole affair they all declare Was dreamed every step of the way You're a mere dream, Melinda Out for a gay little spin Telling 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 the dawn gleam is through You and I know that long ago before the dream there was you There once was you
