[Verse 1]
Oak trees scatter leaves on the river
While acorns wash up on the glade
A squirrel gathers food for the winter
And I sit here wasting away
[Chorus]
Oh, if dreaming could make me your darling
I wouldn't be lonesome today and
If wishing could bring back the good times
I wouldn't be wasting away
[Verse 2]
I stare at the trees in the water
Until the reflection turns gray
The fog settles low on the poplars
And me, I'm just wasting away
[Chorus]
Oh, if dreaming could make me your darling
I wouldn't be lonesome today and
If wishing could bring back the good times
I wouldn't be wasting away
Oh, if dreaming could make me your darling
I wouldn't be lonesome today and
If wishing could bring back the good times
I wouldn't be wasting away
Oh, if dreaming could make me your darling
I wouldn't be lonesome today and
If wishing could bring back the good times
I wouldn't be wasting away
I wouldn't be wasting away
