Analysis of A Dream for Two

Steve Cochrane 1955 (Cape)



Last Night When we were on our date
She said that we must talk,
Because she had a lot to say
As we began to walk.

While moving slowly to the car
I listened patiently,
When she looked in my eyes and said,
She was in love with me!

Somehow, she seems to think that I
Can make her dreams come true.
That is the way I think of her,
So now we dream for two!
