The Dream

Last night

Once again I had the dream

I tossed and I turned

That old feeling's still the same

It was so real

I woke up cold and sweating

I wonder did I call her name?

In the dream she was right there with me

Right there with me in the bed

She said, "Bobby, come and kiss me"

"Never leave me!" is what she said

But when I reached out to hold her

Oh, I woke my wife instead

Once againnnnnnnnn!

Once again, I had the dream

Six years since I've seen her

Ain't no doubt about what it means, no, no

I tried hard not to think about her

But all she left me was this dream

All she left me was the dream

All she left me was a dream

A dream

All she left me was the dream

I dreamed I called her name

I dreamed I held my baby in my arms

Oh, what a dream!
