Craig's Brother - Dear Charlotte Lyrics
Memory conveys that you were something to beWhen you weren't held captive in an aged bodyYou had a family that needed you and job securityYou had everything a man could ever needBut where did your children go? Where is your family?Did they turn into the adults that you always hoped they'dbe?Did you finally retire from that job that tortured you?I thought all your dreams had come trueSo why are you depressed when your life is at it's bestIs 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 dreamsYour eldest son reminds you of the way life used to beWhen you didn't bear the chains of matrimonyYou had no job that you hated, no responsibilityYou were youthful and careless and freeAnd the woman you wed, she seemed better in bedWhen there wasn't a ring on her fingerYes your life seemed all right when you partied all nightThose days are gone, does the flavor still linger?Don't tell me life would be great if you were reprobateAnd had friends who were losers and fiendsYou've a family a wife and a meaningful lifeBut you're still holding on to yesterdays dreamsLoneliness reduces you to disharmonyLife seems so hopeless and melancholyYou're still young but you can't find the strength to move onNow that the woman who loves you is goneDid you find she wasn't so close when you needed her mostIs it hard facing up to rejection?You might understand that she needed a manBut you're still seeking maternal protectionDon't give up you're still young and your life's just begunAt every corner opportunity screamsSometimes life is abrupt but it's time to grow upAnd stop clinging to yesterday's dreams
