darn that dream
Darn that dream I dream each night You say you love me and you hold me tight But when I awake, I find you're out of sight Oh, darn that dream  Darn your lips and darn your eyes They lift me high above the moonlight skies Then I tumble out of paradise Oh, darn that dream  Darn that one-track mind of mine I can't understand that you don't care Just to change the mood I'm in Lord, 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 'cause it won't come true Oh, darn that dream Oh, darn that dream
