Dear Charlotte Lyrics - Singles - Craig's Brother

Memory conveys that you were something to be 

When you weren't held captive in an aged body 

You had a family that needed you and job security 

You had everything a man could ever need 

But where did your children go? Where is your family? 

Did they turn into the adults that you always hoped they'd be? 

Did you finally retire from that job that tortured you? 

I thought all your dreams had come true 

So why are you depressed when your life is at it's best 

Is it really 'cause it's not what it seems? 

Or are you unable to see that you should be happy 

'Cause your still living in yesterday's dreams 

Your eldest son reminds you of the way life used to be 

When you didn't bear the chains of matrimony 

You had no job that you hated, no responsibility 

You were youthful and careless and free 

And the woman you wed, she seemed better in bed 

When there wasn't a ring on her finger 

Yes, your life seemed all right when you partied all night 

Those days are gone, does the flavor still linger? 

Don't tell me life would be great if you were reprobate 

And had friends who were losers and fiends 

You've a family a wife and a meaningful life 

But you're still holding on to yesterdays dreams 

Loneliness reduces you to disharmony 

Your life seems so hopeless and melancholy 

You're still young but you can't find the strength to move on 

Now that the woman who loves you is gone 

Did you find she wasn't so close when you needed her most 

Is it hard facing up to rejection? 

You might understand that she needed a man 

But you're still seeking maternal protection 

Don't give up you're still young and your life's just begun 

At every corner opportunity screams 

Sometimes life is abrupt but it's time to grow up 

And stop clinging to yesterday's dreams
