All the things we never did

Rockaway Beach still reserved for you and me Tulips and roses on all those bookmarked streets New York Philharmonic and museums of history Road trips to search for the trails to our retreats Carnegie Hall, and atop the Empire State You'd be on time, I'd run just a little late (heh) We'd traverse the boroughs thorough for each dinner date No reservations - with you, I don't mind the wait And we'll clear our tab of every last kiss Castles in the sand, make me feel like a kid May never know, but we'll somehow reminisce About all the things we never did You'd say I'd forever be part of your history And I'd pray I'd be your future and you'd play for keeps So we'll stay slow dancing, swaying in my memory While you still dream a little dream of Me and you Are meant to be by my side when I turn 25 Unstoppable together with both our names in lights Palm trees up high, every day more alive Bicoastal cruising to see all the sights I'd make a mess and maybe screw up the steps As we test your brand new recipe You'd fix the rest, imperfectly perfect Just how it's meant to be for you and me And we may never know But we'll somehow reminisce About all the things we shouldn't have to miss You'd say I'd forever be part of your history And I'd pray I'd be your future and you'd play for keeps So we'll stay slow dancing, swaying in my memory While you still dream a little dream (No!) Steal a little dream from me Now the sun shines, springs us to summertime My heart aches for warm dates, they'd be so sublime And now I keep my room clean But it's just so empty without you between the sheets I miss our nonexistent apartment by the sea Following our idealistic big city fantasy You'd say I'd forever be part of your history And I'd pray I'd be your future and you'd play for keeps So we'll stay slow dancing, swaying in my memory While you still dream a little dream of (me) Steal a little dream from (me) Keep a little dream of Me and you
