I dreamed you paid your dues in Canada
And left me to come through
I headed for there right away
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
These dreams of you
So real and so true
These dreams of you
So real and so true
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 faith against the sun
You pointed out for me to go
And you said I was the one
Had to reap what you did sow
These dreams of you
So real and so true
These dreams of you
So real and so true
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 here from above
And Ray Charles was shot down
But he got up to do his best
Crowd of people gathered ’round
And to the question answered yes
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
These dreams of you
So real and so true
These dreams of you
So real and so true
But hush-a-bye, 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 here from above
And hush-a-bye, hush-a-bye, don’t ever think about it
Go to sleep, don’t ever
Close your eyes
