i lie awake at night - mind is racing so
no matter how I try - I just can't let it go
the moment I close my eyes
my troubles only grow
'cuz I dream dream dream dream dream
dream of you 'till mornin' time (2x)
and when i wake up to the sunshine
i get up ... just to draw the blinds
(doo wop solos)
i thought i found in you the one to be my wife
but i'm down here on the floor
i thought i found in you the one to share my life
but i'm six feet deep i'm low
'cuz the last time i was feelin' good
i hurt you ... and made you go
now I dream dream dream dream dream
dream of you 'till mornin' time (2x)
and when i wake up to the sunshine
i get up ... just to draw the blinds
(guitar solos from Toney and Aled)
now I dream dream dream dream dream
dream of you 'till mornin' time (2x)
and when i wake up to the sunshine
i get up ... just to draw the blinds
(doo wop outro)
