I dreamed you paid your dues in Canada

Left me to come through

I headed for the right way

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

Chorus:

Mmmm, 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 face against the sun

You pointed out for me to go

Then you said I was the one

Had to reap what you did sow



Chorus



Bridge:

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 down from above



And Ray Charles was shot down

But he got up to do his best

A crowd of people gathered round

To the question answered yes

And 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
