One Dream Isn't Enough

What happens when one dream isn't enough
when the wellspring is bereft of precious things
and sometimes everything
seems too tough
the common element of a love
left dangling from a key chain over your head, over your head
I hope to someday see reflected in your eyes

One dream isn't enough
love,
to spend on a beauty like you
one moment isn't long enough
love,
to spend here beside you
and maybe there's not enough time in the world
when you're in love with a girl
but can one dream shared be enough
for me?

When being alone just doesn't cut it anymore
what happens to the colors that I call me
but sometimes everything
is such a bore
then I see your dark light eyes
wide open, ready to perceive a brand new model of me
oh and I'm more than ready to be the one

One dream to be enough
love,
for your mind to explore tonight
one moment isn't long enough
love,
to mine the good inside of me
but maybe there's not enough time in the world
when you're in love with a girl
but can one dream together be enough
for you?

And I've got
one strong hand
clutched to the hem of your dress
colorful tresses
can the wonder I create be enough to impress
you
with one elegant finger you stir
the night to become a blur
oh you
don't think one dream is enough
to get the most of you tonight

What happens when one dream isn't enough
is the clear stream of consciousness bending
to color anything and everything
a rose-tinted blush
the common element of love
left blending with desperation inside my head, my head
oh I think I see it reflected in your eyes

Yes I think I see the possibility
of one dream shared reflected in our eyes
could it ever be enough
for me
for you
enough to spend on a beauty like you
love

One dream is never ever enough
to get the most of you
the candy center of you
tonight

"Heaven is paved with broken glass,
since your hammer struck my heart" -XTC

Ahhh . . . One dream may not be enough, but the fact that you realize that will give you some insight on how to show your love and not fall into the boredom frame of mind as so often happens after two people learn all about their loved ones. To keep love vital, you have to be ever ready.
