COPPER COINS FOR GOLDEN DREAMS |
LyricsCOPPER COINS FOR GOLDEN DREAMS(Papageorge) V1: Hello, Venus, yes, it's me again Here at your fountain where the water streams With my broken heart that won't seem to mend Tossin' COPPER COINS FOR GOLDEN DREAMS V2: Can you tell me where did I go wrong Cause my life's come apart at the seams Now all that I have to help me along Are COPPER COINS FOR GOLDEN DREAMS BRIDGE: I wish I knew what it takes to have A love that will always stay Though I'm down on my luck I'm not giving up Till I find the way V3: If you can help me, would you be so kind Though I'm not a man of great means But I'll give all I've got if she could be mine COPPER COINS FOR GOLDEN DREAMS BRIDGE: I wish I knew what it takes to have A love that will always stay Though I'm down on my luck I'm not giving up Till I find the way V4: So, I'm gonna stay here if it takes all night Till the first ray of hope starts to gleam Till my pockets are empty, till my tears are dry Tossin' COPPER COINS FOR GOLDEN DREAMS COPPER COINS FOR GOLDEN DREAMS (c)1991 Once in a Lifetime Music (BMI) |

| Story Behind the Song: In a songwriting class w/Shelia Davis, we were given a assignment to write a song with a color in it. One Saturday afternoon, at an in-door mall with my wife, there was a fountain with a statue. Inspiration hit me and I came up with the title, "Copper Coins for Golden Dreams." |
