[VERSE 1] When we parted ways, I knew it was for the best. All we did was argue, and you know all the rest. 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 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 [TURNAROUND] {softly} I surrender to these dreams. I can't help but want to stay. then daylight comes, and steals them all away?
