I'm so ill-informed. I've always liked this song, "Your Wildest Dreams," but for some reason I've attributed it to XTC. There's a slight resemblance in the vocal cadence, so I'll give myself a pass.
Isn't this, though, one of the most catchy, romantic and gentle songs to emerge from the prog-rock movement? The lyrics are positively lovely. . .
"Once upon a time
Once when you were mine
I remember skies
Reflected in your eyes
I wonder where you are
I wonder if you think about me
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams
Once the world was new
Our bodies felt the morning dew
That greets the brand new day
We couldn't tear ourselves away
I wonder if you care
I wonder if you still remember
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams
And when the music plays
And when the words are touched with sorrow
When the music plays
I hear the sound I had to follow
Once upon a time
Once beneath the stars
The universe was ours
Love was all we knew
And all I knew was you
I wonder if you know
I wonder if you think about it
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams"
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you my song of the day: "Your Wildest Dreams" by The Moody Blues.
