In my Dreams - Reo Speedwagon

There was a time some time ago
When every sunrise meant a sunny day, oh a sunny day
But now when the morning light shines inIt only disturbs the dreamland where i lay, oh where i lay
I used to thank the lord when i'd wake
For life and love and the golden sky above me
But now i pray the stars will go on shinin', you see in my dreams you love me
Daybreak is a joyful timeJust listen to the songbird harmonies, oh the harmonies
But i wish the dawn would never come
I wish there was silence in the trees, oh the trees
If only i could stay asleep, at least i could pretend you're thinkin' of me
'cause nighttime is the one time i am happy, you see in my dreams

Chorus:We climb and climb and at the top we fly
Let the world go on below us, we are lost in time
And i don't know really what it means
All i know is that you love me, in my dreams

I keep hopin' one day i'll awaken, and somehow she'll be lying by my side
And as i wonder if the dawn is really breakin'
She touches me and suddenly i'm alive

Oho, in my dreams

Walk away

Every moment pass me by
Like a reality imaginary
I can't believe things are like it is
Yet I was expecting it so.

What else could I expect?
As sure as light in a straight line
As definate as the combustion of helium
Is my consequence for not believing in the proven

I thought you were my hero
I believed you would save me, change me, change my ill-fated life
But you were just like the rest of them
Never intending to lend me a hand.

You say to me "it was always him, not you"
I should have known, but I was a fool.
Now all I have are memories
But I cannot tell anymore if they were real.

It was like I believed in a rainmaker
like centuries ago that the earth was flat
like the protection of a tailsman
I actually believed the glass wasn't gonna crack

I must have pretended it was real.
It felt real, it seemed real.
Then a slap to my face and you say wake up!
And I did, I opened my eyes, I saw you, I ran to you,
and you turned your back and walked away.
