Oh I know, I'm only dreaming.
'Cause I'll awake, and you'll be gone.
And my tears will still be streaming.
As my broken, heart beats on.

Yes I know, I'm only dreaming.
But I'll just, keep dreaming on.
I will dream about the pleasures.
That we shared in days gone by.

And I'll remember and I'll treasure,
Every kiss and your kind eyes.
And I will dream that you still hold me,
In your arms as you did then.

And I recall each thing you told me,
Hear your voice as I did then.
Yes I know, I'm only dreaming.
But I'll dream, and I will too.

I'll be here, and I'll be waiting,
And I will dream, of your return.
Some will say I'm being foolish,
While some will say that I'm just blind.

And that I want to face what the truth is
That you are, no longer mine.
But I will dream, your brave stallion
To some sweet day, to their surprise.
You will say your love's still burning,
You'll dry each tear drop from my eyes.

But I know, I'm only dreaming,
Cause I'll awake and be alone.
And my tears will still be streaming,
And you will still be just as gone.

Yes I know I'm only dreaming,
But I must keep dreaming, on
