Lyrics

Why Do I Dream
James Hammel

When will I tell her?
I know my chance is near.
One day I get up the nerve,
Or I’ll cast my fate to the wind.

Listen to the rain on my roof again,
As I stare out at the city lights.
The curtain’s move like dancers on the wind.
Is this yet another sleepless night?

Why do I dream about you every night?
I see us walking hand in hand.
Why do I dream about you every night?
As I stare in to the dark at a silhouette of you.

If this is love why do I feel this way?
I must be foolish not to see.
If the words can’t say how I feel about you,
Through my heart I know that you will understand.

Why do I dream about you every night?
I see us walking hand in hand.
Why do I dream about you every night?
As I stare in to the dark at a silhouette of you.

Time keeps movin’ along.
People move on too.
The days the nights,
Fade like distant lights,
And drift in to the past.

When do these crazy dreams come to an end?
I know if I can’t have you I’ll have no one at all.
As the minutes turn to hours, I'll never know.
The answer lies in telling you how I feel.

Why do I dream about you every night?
I see us walking hand in hand.
Why do I dream about you every night?
As I stare in to the dark at a silhouette of you.

Why do I dream?
Why do I dream?
Why do I dream about you every night?
Why do I dream about you?
