[INTRO] brief guitar solo [VERSE 1] When we called it quits, yeah, I knew it was for the best. All we did was argue, and you know all the rest. Time went by , I moved on with my life. Soon forgot about you, was glad to forget all the strife. [VERSE 2] Then came the dreams, from out of the blue. It had been years since I had any thought of you. Dreams of you and me, endlessly embraced. You pull me close, kiss my lips, your hand caresses my face. [CHORUS 1] Why couldn’t you love me! except in my dreams? Why must I be asleep! to see what might have bean? Why couldnt you love me! out in the light of day. Why must I dream, to feel you care for me this way [TURNAROUND] I surrender to these dreams. I cant help but want to stay. then daylight meets my eyes and steals them all away? [VERSE 3] As the pillow takes my head. Uneasy comes the night. I tell my mind to have no dreams but I know I’ll lose that fight. My heart never listens. Hearts do as they will do. I hear a prayer, as I lay there counting sheep. Now I lay me down to sleep, It seems my soul is yours to keep! [CHORUS 2] Why couldn’t you love me! except in my dreams? Why must I be asleep! to see what might have bean? Why couldnt you ever love me! out in the light of day. Why must I dream, to feel you care for me this way [TURNAROUND] I surrender to these dreams. I cant help but want to stay. then daylight meets my eyes and steals them all away? [CHORUS3] Why couldn’t you love me! except in my dreams? Why must I be asleep! to see what might have bean? Why couldnt you ever love me! out in the light of day. Why must I dream, to feel you care for me this way [TURNAROUND] I surrender to these dreams. I cant help but want to stay. then daylight meets my eyes and steals them all away? [OUTRO] brief Blues guitar
