(Make room in your heart for a dream)
Just make room in your heart for a memory
Then just once in a while will you think of me
Though you're gone to another who loves you too
But won't you remember what I meant to you
In a dream maybe sometime I might drop in
And we'll talk about things that might have been
Now and then just a thought of your used-to-be
Please make room in your heart for a memory
n a dream maybe sometime...
