Melinda
MARK
This is a dream, Melinda
Just a mirage, so they say
This whole affair they all declare
Was dreamed each step of the way

You're a mere dream, Melinda
Out for a gay little spin
Dealing 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 thе dawn gleam is through
You and I know that long ago
Before thе dream there was you
There once was you

MARK (MELINDA)
(Open your eyes)
There was Melinda
(There's a sapphire sky above us)
I know for sure
(High above us)
But don't go, Melinda
(Made for you when you open your heart)
I know and you know
MARK (MELINDA AND DAVID)
That you're no mere dream, Melinda
(Open your eyes)
Gone when the dawn gleam is through
(And you'll see how this)
You and I know that long ago
(Night can seem)
Before the dream there was you
(More unreal than a dream)
There once was you

MARK (MELINDA AND DAVID)
(More unreal)
There once

MARK
Was you

DAVID
Than a dream

MELINDA
Open your eyes
