A 1000 Times

I had a dream that you were mine

I've had that dream a thousand times

A thousand times, a thousand times

I've had that dream a thousand times

I left my room on the West Side

I walked from noon until the night

I changed my crowd, I ditched my tie

I watched the sparks fly off the fire

I found your house, I didn't even try

They'd closed the shutters, they'd pulled the blinds

My eyes were red, the streets were bright

Those ancient years were black and white

The tenth of November, the year's almost over

If I had your number, I'd call you tomorrow

If my eyes were open, I'd be kicking the doors in

But all that I have is this old dream I’ve always had

A thousand times, a thousand times

I've had that dream a thousand times

A thousand times, a thousand times

I've had that dream a thousand times

I left my room on the West Side

I walked from noon through the night

I changed my crowd, I ditched my tie

I watched the sparks fly off the fire

I found your old house, I didn't even try

They'd closed the shutters, they'd pulled the blinds

I had a dream that you were mine

I've had that dream a thousand times

But I don't answer questions, I just keep on guessing

My eyes are still open, the curtains are closing

But all that I have is this old dream I always had

A thousand times, a thousand times

I've had that dream a thousand times

A thousand times, a thousand times

I've had that dream a thousand times

A thousand times, a thousand times

I've had that dream a thousand times

A thousand times, a thousand times

I've had that dream a thousand times
