I wrote a letter to you my friend 
So many letters that I never send 
I think about you at the day's end 
The time that we had 
I laughed in my bed 
The stupid things you said 
We were two birds of paradise

When I was a little girl 
With clay horses and lambs on the shelf 
I caught frogs in ditches, listened for elves 
My friends and I had a world unto ourselves 
No grownups could find us when we 
Made our plans so secretly 
To run away and fly to be 
With the two birds of paradise

Now once upon a time my mind still there wanders 
Back in the room the things I remember 
One time when we took off our clothes 
But you were cryin', cryin' 
You said nothing lasts forever 
We were happy together 
I thought about you in Stockholm and Rome 
Me in my hotel room 
You in your home 
This is the life they say that 
Dreams are made of 
Don't forget 
Please do forgive me 
I still have something you did give me 
Come into my dream with me and dream

Please don't forget 
Do forgive me 
I still have something you did give me 
Come into my dream with me and dream 
Oh dream of paradise
