Lyrics

Darn that dream, I dream each night You say you love me and you hold me tight But when I awake, you're out of sight Oh, darn that dream Darn your lips and darn your eyes They lift me high above the moonlit skies Then I tumble out of paradise Oh, darn that dream Darn that one track mind of mine It can't understand that you don't care Just to change the mood I'm in I'd welcome a nice old nightmare Darn that dream and bless it too Without that dream, I never would have you But it haunts me and it won't come true Oh, darn that dream Darn that dream, I dream each night You say you love me and you hold me tight But when I awake, you're out of sight Oh, darn that dream Darn your lips, darn your eyes They lift me high above a moonlit sky Then I tumble out of paradise Oh, darn that dream Darn that one track mind of mine It can't understand that you don't care But just to change the mood I'm in I'd welcome a nice old nightmare Darn that dream and bless it too Without that dream, I never would have you But it haunts me and it won't come true Oh, darn that dream
