[VERSE 1] When we parted ways, that was long overdue. All we did was argue, there was no me and you. Years went by ,I found new love and moved on with my life. I quickly forgot you, and all the endless strife [VERSE 2] Then came the dreams, from clear out of the blue. It had been years since I had even a thought of you. Dreams of you and me, endlessly embraced. You hold me tight, you kiss my lips, caress my face. [CHORUS 1] Why couldn’t you love me! except in my dreams? Why must I be asleep! to see what might have been? Why couldn't you love me! out in the light of day. Why must I dream, to feel you love me this way. [VERSE 3] As I sink into the pillow, uneasy is my night. I tell my mind, no dreams! but I know I’ll lose that fight. Lying there, I hear a prayer, gently stirring in the air Now I lay me down to sleep, It seems my soul is yours to keep! [CHORUS 1] Why couldn’t you love me! except in my dreams? Why must I be asleep! to see what might have been? Why couldn't you love me! out in the light of day. Why must I dream, to feel you love me this way [BRIDGE OUT] {softly} I surrender to these dreams. I can't help but want to stay. then daylight comes, and steals them all away?
