Easy tempo, you got this fellers
[Intro]
[Verse]
I can't rememb
er the dream t
hat I had last
night
But I woke wit
h delight and
excitement
And then when
I tried to rem
ember the drea
m that I had l
ast night
It was gone bu
t the feeling
I had in the d
ream stayed on
[Chorus]
When I'm awake
and I look ar
ound me
I can faithful
ly record ever
ything that I
can see
Most of my mem
ories tend to
be sad
So I wish I co
uld remember t
he dream that
I had
[Verse]
I can't rememb
er the dream t
hat I had last
night
If I could I w
ould write it
out, underline
the highlight
s
Of the dream t
hat would now
redefine my li
fe
Be a new road
map, affirmati
on, and guidin
g light
When I'm awake
I note all th
at I see
And remember i
t with photogr
aphic accuracy
Most of my mem
ories tend to
be bad
And I'm sad I
can't remember
the dream tha
t I had
[Bridge]
Why can't I re
member it
when
I can't
forget
unpleasant tho
ughts?
I want to pus
h them away
They creep l
ike weeds,
like weeds the
y cover all th
e flowerbeds
I can't rememb
er the dream t
hat I had last
night
But the simple
fact that my
mind could con
coct such a th
ing
As the incredi
ble dream that
I had last ni
ght
Is a clue to t
he key to a do
or to a world
like that
My daily life
doesn't intere
st me
It's a never-e
nding litany o
f pain and enn
ui
This waking ni
ghtmare is dri
ving me mad
And I wish I c
ould remember
the dream that
I had
When I'm awake
I note all th
at I see
And remember i
t with photogr
aphic accuracy
All of my memo
ries make me f
eel bad
And I'm sad I
can't remember
the dream tha
t I had
Why can't I re
member the dre
am that I had?
Wish I could g
o live in the
dream that I h
ad
