I Dream of Victory

A fundamental part
Of my life has yet to start
Kept apart from a broken heart yet I've never
Known the work of art
That is love of a woman, supposedly common
For twenty-five years I've been told "soon it's comin' "
Of lovers I've had none
My belt's not been undone
By someone in a rush of joy and fun
A sadder yarn has scarce been spun
I'm scared, this I own; with girls I am prone
To hesitate and then postpone
But when I drift to sleep in bed, alone

I dream of victory, when I'm done with the struggle
When I need only reach out for a kiss or a cuddle
And she will rest, her head on my chest
And whisper in my ear
I dream of victory, of a heartfelt connection
Where I'm welcomed and treasured as her sole selection
And we'll lie side by side in gentle sin
Oh, I dream of victory, when love will win

For every drop I've gained
How I've laboured and I've strained, can't be sustained
Round the town I am entertained
But my strength and funds are drained
It takes me days to recover, I'd rather discover
A good book while curled up on the couch with my lover
The promise of a tryst
Online is no assist, I'm dismissed
By a lengthy list of ladies
My fate's to date but never kiss
Despite my mistakes, I'll fight for the sake
Of tasting bliss before heartbreak
Yet love that falls into the laps of everyone else makes

Me dream of victory, when I'm done with the struggle
When I need only reach out for a kiss or a cuddle
And she will rest, her head on my chest
And whisper in my ear
I dream of victory, of a heartfelt connection
Where I'm welcomed and treasured as her sole selection
And we'll lie side by side in gentle sin

Oh, I dream of victory
To go out to dinner and request a booth for two
Victory, to travel together, see the world in radiant hues
Victory, to comfort each other through all the lows and highs
Victory, to wake every morning gazing in each other's eyes

I dream of victory, mm-mm
Oh, I dream of victory, yeah

I dream of victory, how euphoric the smile
That I'll bear as my bride walks adorned down the aisle
And we'll lock hands, before our friends
And pledge undying love
I dream of victory, even as we grow older
She'll be beautiful in the eye of this beholder
But this adventure has not yet begun
Oh, I dream of victory, to find the one
