Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Woke up this morning and I looked around

So disappointed, I laid back down

Oh what a dream, what a dream

I had last night

[Verse 2]

Dreamed I held you in my arms

But I'm still waitin' for that day to come

Oh what a dream, what a dream

I had last night

[Verse 3]

Dreamed we were walkin' down the aisle

The organ was playin Here Comes the Bride

You looked out at me you began to smile

When I looked around, everybody began to cry

[Verse 4]

I opened my eyes, you weren't there

All of my happiness just disappeared

Oh what a dream, what a dream

I had last night

[Verse 5]

I opened my eyes, you weren't there

All of my happiness just disappeared

Oh what a dream, what a dream

I had last night
