Dreaming
Stanley, Kulick
[Rhy. Fig 1 with Riff 1]
[Rhy. Fig 2a]
Close your eyes and take a look at your life
Do you like what you see?
My eyes are open but I feel like I´m blind
It´s all returning to me
[Rhy. Fig 2b]
I want to know
Does a frozen river flow
Things we said, fill my head
Lying in a cold and empty bed
[Rhy. Fig 1 with Riff 1]
I´m only dreaming
Between the darkness and the light
I´m only dreaming
Oh ooh
Dreaming
Can´t tell the daylight from the night
I´m only dreaming
Dreaming
[Rhy. Fig 2a]
I feel the sunshine shining down on my face
Not a cloud in my mind
I get my wake up
But it never comes in time
[Rhy. Fig 3]
My prayers are spoken and I wait to recieve
Cause there´s a fine line between the truth
And how we want it to be
[Rhy. Fig 1 with Riff 1]
I´m only dreaming
Between the darkness and the light
I´m only dreaming
Oh ooh
Dreaming
Can´t tell the daylight from the night
I´m only dreaming
Dreaming
[Rhy. Fig 4]
I´m sailing like a ship on the sea
I don´t care if I´m lost in the haze
I hear the angels singing softly to me
Time´s the enemy
That you never see
Won´t you come and slip away
[Solo over Rhy. Fig 5]
[Rhy. Fig 6]
[Rhy. Fig 1 with Riff 1]
I amd only dreaming
I´m only dreaming
I´m only dreaming
Yeah
I am only dreaming
[Rhy. Fig 1 with Riff 2]
I´m only dreaming
I´m only dreaming
Yeah
I´m only dreaming
Dreaming
[Rhy. Fig 1 with Riff 2 and Riff 3]
