Lyrics B.J. Thomas

B.J. Thomas

Ashes Of Dreams You Let Die

If my soul could talk to you

Here's what I'd say

I would reminisce every sweet kiss of yesterday

To all you young fools

I've got a lonesome surprise

Time won't turn back

And light a candle when love dies

When your baby says good-bye

That's when you'll find your stairway

To the sky in the ashes of dreams you let die

You may dream you're close to her

What if you're wrong

If she tore apart your poor heart

Would you go on

Or would you break down

In sentimental refrain

Go round and round

In rhapsody of lasting pain

When your baby says good-bye

That's when with every beat of your heart

Will cry for the ashes of dreams you let die

Dreams you let die

Dreams you let die
