Don’t you know I had a dream last night
That you were here with me
Lyin’ by my side so soft and warm
And we talked a while
And shared a smile
And then we shared the dawn
But when I woke up
Oh, my dream it was gone

Don’t you know I had a dream last night
And you were here with me
Lyin’ by my side so soft and warm
And you said you’d thought it over
You said you were coming home
But when I woke up
Oh, my dream it was gone

I’m not the same
Can you blame me
Is it hard to understand
I can’t forget
You can’t change me
I am not that kind of man

Don’t you know I had a dream last night
And ev’rything was still
And you were by my side so soft and warm
And I dreamed that we were lovers
In the lemon scented rain
But when I woke up
Oh, I found that again, I had been
Dreamin’, dreamin’ again
I had been dreamin,’ dreamin’ again
