Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I dreamed you paid your dues in Canada
And left me to come through
I headed for there right way
I knew exactly just what to do
I dreamed we played cards in the dark
And you lost, and you lied
Wasn't very hard to do
But hurt me deep down inside
[Verse 2]
Mmm, these dreams of you
So real and so true
These dreams of you
So real and so true
[Verse 3]
My back was up against the wall
And you slowly just walked away
You never really heard my call
When I cried out that way
With my face against the sun
You pointed out for me to go
Then you said I was the one
Had to reap what you did sow
[Verse 4]
Mmm, these dreams of you
So real and so true
These dreams of you, oh
So real and so true
[Verse 5]
And hush-a-bye, don't ever think about it
Go to sleep, don't ever say one word
Close your eyes, you are an angel
Sent down from above
[Verse 6]
And Ray Charles was shot down
But he got up to do his best
A crowd of people gathered round
And to the question answered, "Yes"
And you slapped me on the face
I turned around the other cheek
You couldn't really stand the pace
And I would never be so meek
[Verse 7]
Mmm, these dreams of you
So real and so true
These dreams of you
So real and so true
But hush-a-bye
[Verse 8]
Hush-a-bye, don't ever think about it
Go to sleep, don't ever say one word
Close your eyes, you are an angel
Sent down from above
[Verse 9]
Then hush-a-bye, hush-a-bye
Don't ever think about it
Don't ever say one word
Close your eyes
