Only in My Mind

In my mind there is a house

In a small forest grove

Made of cherry logs and chimney smoke

Is always pouring from the stove

In my mind you're there sometimes

Dancing with a glass of wine

Laughing as I come to join

You under the dim living room light

But it is only in my mind

In my mind love was easy

A dreamy happy ending

Full of passion never fleeting

Full of feeling and surprise

In my mind love was unchanging

Every demand was worth meeting

Every bad day worth defeating

Love made every wrong seem right

But it was only in my mind

In my mind you forgave me

For all of my mistakes

For being sad and selfish

For the loneliness I create

In my mind I got better

I was more thoughtful of others

Never judgmental or stubborn

Always gracious giving and kind

But it was only in my mind

In my mind life was a road

Without any turns

Every chance was given

No hard lessons to be learned

In my mind I had the answers

Every dream was within sight

Every heartache could be mended

Happiness came with time

But it was only in my mind

Yes it was only in my mind
