My Dreams
Brenda Lee · Other Songs - Brenda Lee
Each night in my dreams, you come back to me
But I wake up, every morning feeling so blue
Empty arms tell me, that we are really through
My dreams don't ever come true.
In my dreams our love is as it used to be
There's no doubt in mind, that, you really care for me
Then empty arms tell me that we are really through
My dreams don't ever ever come true.
Baby since you said goodbye
I'm left here with just my dreams and I
But how long can I survive?
Can just a dream keep me lonely lonely heart alive.
Tonight in my dreams you'll come back to me
But when I'd awaken can I stand the misery
When empty arms tell me that we are really through
My dreams they don't ever come true.
No, no, no, my dreams they never never come true...
