Nottinghill Dreams

(Verse 1)

Time and again I ask myself
What would I want? 
A good friend or a lover
Why does the drama in my head still linger on?  

People tell me that friendships last while crushes fade away 

*Chorus*

And it's not that I don't wanna believe 

But those Nottinghill dreams 
Just won't seem to go away
It's not that I don't wanna believe

That feelings would fade coz' time simply won't stand still

(Verse 2)

I wake up in the morning thinking of you
I go to bed at night wondering how I got myself into this
Wished you called to ask how I am
And at the same time I don't wanna hear your voice again
People tell me that friendships last while crushes fade away 

*Chorus*

And it's not that I don't wanna believe 

But those Nottinghill dreams 
Just won't seem to go away
It's not that I don't wanna believe

That feelings would fade coz' time simply won't stand still

(Bridge)

Say goodbye to fragmented daydreams

Reminiscing has no gains

Playing "Foolish Games" on the piano

Helps you to work through your pain

*Chorus*

And it's not that I don't wanna believe 

But those Nottinghill dreams  
Just won't seem to go away
It's not that I don't wanna believe

That feelings would fade coz' time simply won't stand still

Time simply won't stand still

Note: I started writing this song more than 20 years ago, but it was always left half complete, partly due to laziness, partly due to dissatisfaction with the lyrics in the earlier drafts. Finally finished it this past month, during this recent period of relatively new burst of creativity.
