Melted Dreams

[Verse] On a summer's day 'neath a willow tree She held her cone high Heart full and free But the sun was cruel In its burning pride And the ice cream dripped As she sat and cried [Verse 2] Oh The bells they rang from the corner truck She ran with a dollar Full of luck But the heat It came and took her treat Left her with naught but melting defeat [Chorus] Fleeting dreams in the summer's sun One sweet bite and then it's done Like love that's lost in the blink of an eye Melted dreams beneath a clear blue sky [Verse 3] She watched it pool on the sidewalk there Sticky remnants of her cold affair How do you say goodbye to cream When it slips away like a fragile dream [Bridge] Kids they laugh and play in the park Unaware of the hurting heart For what's a cone but a bit of glee When it's gone Just a memory [Chorus] Fleeting dreams in the summer's sun One sweet bite and then it's done Like love that's lost in the blink of an eye Melted dreams beneath a clear blue sky
