34 Going On 80

© 2009 Mark Cote

Let me share with you a dream I had
it may stir your heart, it may make you sad
sometimes things are not what they seem
and the colors I see are just a dream

on a red sunset she whispered into his life
with a  love so strong he made her his wife
touched his heart like no one could do
sometimes love is blind if he only knew

(chorus) he was 34 going on 80
                drained by the love he felt for a lady
                the love he knew he'd never find
                now alone, he watched his world unwind

he learned in time of her ultimate plan
not for the sweet love of any man
a heart that's blue and cold as stone
if you try to hold you end up alone
(chorus)

Let me share with you a dream I had
it may stir your heart, it may make you sad
sometimes things are not what they seem
and was this really just a dream
