Lyrics Johnny Mathis

Johnny Mathis

Melinda

This is a dream Melinda

Just a mirage, so they say

This whole affair they all declare

Was dreamed every step of the way

You're a mere dream, Melinda

Out for a gay little spin

Telling me lies before my eyes

of days that never have been

There's no Melinda, they say for sure

But don't go Melinda

I know and you know

That you're no mere dream, Melinda

Gone when the dawn gleam is through

You and I know that long ago

before the dream there was you

There once was you
