Lyric
Never quite got over youI wondered if you missed me tooI tried to call a time or twoYou were never homeTried to call again last nightNumber’s changed, but that’s alrightYou wouldn’t see me anywayBut that’s ok, I’ll see you.In my dreamsAnd they never let me downThe only way that I have leftOf having you aroundIn my dreamsAnd they’ve saved me up ’till nowBut it’s funny how a fool can see the lightWhen the sun goes down.I never quite got through to youLike all the others seem to doGot kinda close a time or twoBut not for very longAin’t it funny how your memory makesLove stronger than the heartachesMakes me keep on loving youThe way I do when I see you.In my dreamsAnd they never let me downThe only way that I have leftOf having you aroundIn my dreamsAnd they’ve saved me up ’till nowBut it’s funny how a fool can see the lightWhen the sun goes downIn my dreams
