[Intro]
Was it just a dream?
Did I feel your devotion?
Dreams are never what they seem
Did we just go through the motions?

[Verse 1]
I keep your photograph by my bed to remind me
That I was part of your life
I say my prayers to the sandman
That he'll find me fast asleep
Sleep has always been kind
And in my dreams you'll always be mine
But in the morning when I wake
I remember that my heart does ache

[Chorus]
Was it just a dream?
Did I feel your devotion?
Dreams are never what they seem
Did we just go through the motions?
Was it just a dream?
Did I feel your devotion?
Dreams are never what they seem
Did we just go through the motions?
[Verse 2]
I admit that I did my bit to deceive you
But sometimes I was afraid
That this day would come
How could you just leave me all alone now?
I have always been strong
So I know that I can go on
But right now I feel so dead inside
Oh sleep, come to me, 'cause that's where I hide

[Chorus]
Was it just a dream?
Did I feel your devotion?
Dreams are never what they seem
Did we just go through the motions?
Was it just a dream?
Did I feel your devotion?
Dreams are never what they seem
Did we just go through the motions?

[Post-Chorus]
All that I have, all that I ask
All my dreams, they fade so fast
Don't wake me up, not today
All my dreams will fade away
[Bridge]
And I want him and I need him
I can't live and I'd die just to see him
Just to feel his hands on my face
Smell his skin, and his warm embrace
'Cause it's all that I have and it's fading so fast
Mmm, mmm
Uh, uh huh

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I have always been strong
So I know that I can go on
But right now I feel so dead inside
Oh sleep, come to me, 'cause that's where I hide

[Chorus]
Was it just a dream?
Did I feel your devotion?
Dreams are never what they seem
Did we just go through the motions?
Was it just a dream?
Did I feel your devotion?
Dreams are never what they seem
Did we just go through the motions?

[Post-Chorus]
All that I have, all that I ask
All my dreams, they fade so fast
Don't wake me up, not today
All my dreams will fade away
(Was it just a dream?)
And I want him, and I need him
I can't live and I'd die just to see him
Don't wake me up, not today
All my dreams will fade away
(Was it just a dream?)
All that I have, all that I ask
All my dreams, they fade so fast
Don't wake me up, not today
All my dreams will fade away
