My Elusive Dreams Lyrics - Skeeter Davis

[HER] I followed you to Texas I followed you to Utah. 

[HIM] We didn't find it there so we moved on. 

[HER] I followed you to Alabam things look good in Birmingham. 

[HIM] We didn't find it there so we moved on. 

[Both - HIM:melody; HER:harmony] 

I know you're tired of following my elusive dreams and schemes 

For they're only fleeting things my elusive dreams. 

[HER] I had your child in Memphis you heard of work in Nashville. 

[HIM] We didn't find it there so we moved on to a small farm in Nebraska to a gold mine in Alaska. 

[HER] We didn't find it there so we moved on. 

[HIM] Now we've left Alaska because there was no gold mine. 

[HER](speaking)But this time only two of us moved on. 

And now all we have is each other and a little memory that we could to cling to. 

[HIM](speaking)But still you won't let me go on alone. 

[Both - HIM:melody; HER:harmony] 

I know you're tired of following my elusive dreams and schemes 

For they're only fleeting things my elusive dreams 

For they're only fleeting things my elusive dreams 

[End]
