You'll be Sorry you Knew that Dreams Come True

[steepholm]

I've been having very vivid dreams recently, and while nothing could be more boring to relate to others, last night's was unsettling enough and I woke from it suddenly enough for me to want to record the end of it. The earlier parts involved missing children, dark woods and severed limbs, so let's not go there, but it ended far more spookily, with a chorus of ghostly infants singing me this eldritch music. I don't recognize the tune, but could well have dredged it up from somewhere - any ideas? I've always disliked 3/4 time for some reason, and I think my id knows this and chose to twit me with it. As for the lyrics, all I remember is the penultimate line: "And you'll be sorry you knew that dreams come true."

And with that I started awake.

It's giving me a broken icon instead of the music, but I agree with thinkum - you ought to write this!

I'm sorry it proved iconoclastic!

I've just got round it - it occurred to me to try the link in Internet Explorer instead of Firefox, and hey presto! I like the tune - evidently no problems with 3/4 - though I can't quite work out how to make the line fit. Does what seems to me like the last complete line of the verse start with "you knew", or do some of the words of "that dreams come true" use more than one note?

There's one syllable per note. If it helps, "And you'll be sor" is the only set of four consecutive rising notes in the whole tune.

Some part of my brain thinks there's a bit of a Chopin waltz in there, but none of those I've tried on Youtube matches the memory.
