Mackie, This starts out with some nice guitar picking. The simple melody fits the lyrics well. And your expressive voice conveys the wistfulness of the lyrics.

This is a song about high school sweethearts who started out with dreams and then weathered the storms of life together, though they never hit the winning ticket. So why not focus on that angle in the chorus? Something like this. Keep or sweep.

But dreams are funny things
You can chase them all the time
Then miss them when they’re standing
Right before your eyes
We crossed our hearts long ago
With a love we’d never trade
For fame we never found
And fortunes never made

Write from your heart, not what you think others want to hear.
