Song Description
Like so many, this poor guy worked his tail off for his himself and his wife; however, he did not have time to spend with her and do things she wanted to do. There was no time to do such when he was so busy putting away acorns for the future. Hello! The future walked out the door because she needed attention, love, and affection now, not later.
So, he laments.

Lyrics
Broken Dreams
V1
All I've got to show are broken dreams:
Plans and schemes of yesterday.
Days in which you filled my life with love.
Then changed your mind and went away.
Chorus
Since you've gone, I've had much time to think now:
'bout how it was, and how it should have been.
It's funny how I find the time I couldn't find then.
Wish you would try me, once again.
V2
While you were here, I heard but did not listen.
For I was busy, don't 'cha' see?
All my work was for the future.
There was no time for you and me.
Solo
Now my days are filled with memories of you.
Your face, your smile, and lovin' touch,
made me act much like a child.
They're haunting me. They drive me wild.
Repeat chorus
It's funny how I find the time I couldn't find then.
Wish you would try me, once again.
Wish you would try me, once again.
