A Dream

I dreamed that I didn't wake up,
But it was just a dream;
I thought I saw you standing there,
By that gurgling stream, but I was mistaken:
You'd disappeared, I was cleared, and you were taken;
Once mine, forever gone, love forsaken;
Wrong once, wrong twice, third one was fakin';

Oh my, what I would do,
To not wake up to this crazy zoo;
To find that I dreamed the whole thing;
To have another day when you sing.

I dreamed that I didn't wake up,
But it was just a dream;
I reached for you were you had been,
But you had disappeared again:
You were gone, you moved on, and I was empty;
Once mine, forever gone, nothing left me;
Wrong once, wrong twice, third one wasn't any;

Oh my, what I would do,
To not wake up to this crazy zoo;
To find that I dreamed the whole thing;
To have another day when you sing.

Oh my, oh my, my baby;
Had enough of you drivin' me crazy;
Even though I put all of me into you, and
Left all of my head and most of my heart
Layin' at your feet where you tore them apart;
I'm torn up and busted, and you can't be trusted
With a man as good as I am;

Oh my, what I would do,
To not wake up to this crazy zoo;
To find that I dreamed the whole thing;
To have another day when you sing.
