Wonderful Future
Embracing Memories: Gene Watson's Poetic Reflection on a Wonderful Past
Lyrics
Today as I walk through my garden of dreams
Today, as I reflect on my aspirations and hopes
I'm alone in the sweet used-to-be
Feeling a sense of isolation in the nostalgic past
My past and my present are one and the same
Recognizing the merging of my past and present
And the future holds nothing for me
Anticipating a future that holds no promise or excitement
Yesterday's kisses still burning
Reminiscing about the passion of past kisses
And yesterday's memories still find me
Recalling memories from yesterday that still affect me
Scenes from the past keep returning
Experiencing recurring scenes from the past
I've got a wonderful future behind me
Expressing a sentiment of having a fulfilling past
You say there is happiness waiting for me
Others suggest there is happiness in the future for me
But I know this is just fantasy
However, recognizing that such optimism may be unrealistic
Let me trade one tomorrow for one yesterday
Expressing a desire to exchange a future day for a day in the past
Let me live in my garden of dreams
Yearning to live in the comforting realm of dreams and memories
Yesterday's kisses still burning
Reiterating the intensity of emotions from past kisses
Yesterday's memories still find me
Acknowledging the persistent influence of yesterday's memories
Scenes from the past keep returning
Describing the recurrence of past experiences in the mind
I've got a wonderful future behind me
Affirming the belief in a satisfying and meaningful past
