Hank Snow - Prisoner's Dream lyrics

Last night as I lay sleeping I dreamed a dream so fair I dreamed about my darling a rose was in her hair I dreamed I left this prison started life anew She told me that she loved me told me her love was true It was only a dream just a prisoner's dream As I lay on my cold prison bed My dreams of you can never come true Dear girl I wish that I was dead I dreamed she called me darling kissed me and held me tight I dreamed that we were married dreamed of a starry night I dreamed about our children playing around my knee They loved me called me daddy they thought the world of me It was only a dream... I dreamed a dream so lovely heaven on earth it seemed My wife and little children came to me in my dreams They threw their arms around me I was their pride and joy My little wife she loved me I was her darling boy It was only a dream...
