In My Dreams I‘ve Been Crying

 

In my dreams I’ve been crying,

I dreamt you lay there in a grave,

Then I woke up, and my tears

Kept streaming down from my cheek.

 

In my dreams I’ve been crying,

I dreamt that you‘d walked out on me.

Then I woke up, and I cried

Still for a long time.

 

In my dreams I’ve been crying,

I dreamt that you still were with me.

Then I woke up, still I am crying

Leaving floods of tears.
