(jim lauderdale/john leventhal) Used to sleep through the night peacefully Not a care in the world got to me But now i lay me down to sleep I'm afraid of what i might see I wake up screamin' when your dream goes by Used to feel like a man in control Unaware of the storm in my soul The sight of you took away my breath I wake up screamin' when your dream goes by Now in this dream i'm in a room All dressed up just like a groom Watchin' shadows dance in the ledge Suddenly you then appear you whisper in my hear
And i jump right over the edge Just a dream that i seem to recall Can't you tell me which doctor to call Tell him please i'm not feelin too well Everynight i'm hearin' wedding bells I wake up screamin' when your dream goes by I lay there in an ice cold sweat Sheets are torn and they're soakin' wet I wake up screamin' when your dream goes by I wake up screamin' when your dream goes by I wake up screamin' when your dream goes by
