Well I was fifteen trying to make my way at a brand new school But because I rode in the rodeo I wasn't very cool There was this girl in my homeroom cla** that gave my heart a stir Raven hair and big green eyes, I thought I'd talk to her CHORUS 1: (And she said) In your dreams cowboy I can't be seen with you If you'll just open your eyes you'd see I'm not right for you Cause I like lace and satin, and you wear those old jeans But have no fear, all's not lost You can love me in your dreams Well I turned pro, went out one night to celebrate first place When I saw her with all her friends I said it's good to see your face CHORUS 2: (And she said) In your dreams cowboy I can't go out with you If you'll just open your eyes you'd see I'm no good for you 'Cause I love silk and satin, and you're still wearing jeans But have no fear, all's not lost You can love me in your dreams But I never gave up and finally she gave in For fifty years we've been best friends I hold her hand in the hospital room, my tears rain down I say how am I supposed to love you if you're not around CHORUS 3: (And she said) In your dreams cowboy I'll be right there with you If you'll just open your eyes you'd see I'm still in love with you But soon I'll be in heaven, and then I'll have my wings But have no fear when I'm gone You can love me in your dreams
