Lyrics
This Dream
(c) Vicki Lee
(Intro)
I. I had this dream, again last night.
Woke in a sweat and in a fright.
Had to turn on th' light.
Pull th' covers up and I couldn't sleep.
I couldn't sleep.
II. It was so right. I can't forget.
When times were good, with no regrets.
When you and I had met.
Such a perfect couple. Each one to keep.
Each one to keep.
(Chorus)
Why, why, why? What can I say?
No, no, no, this dream won't go away.
Go away! Go away! Go away!
So, I get into bed with a sense of dread.
Waiting on this dream.
III. Now that I know, I must leave you.
To save my life. What should I do?
I'll have to start anew.
Takin' all my lumps with my tears to weep.
My tears to weep.
(Chorus)
Why, why, why? What can I say?
No, no, no, this dream won't go away.
Go away! Go away! Go away!
So, I get into bed with a sense of dread.
Waiting on this dream.
(Tag)
So, I get into bed with a sense of dread.
Waiting on this dream. Waiting on this dream. Waiting on this dream.
