[Verse 1]
Darling, don't cry, dry your eyes
For this wasn't meant to be
Please realize, though I lied
That I was blind and I just couldn't see

[Refrain]
Dry your eyes, say goodbye to a bad dream
(To a bad dream)

[Bridge]
(Darling, I tried) Darling, I tried to abide by
The letters of the Golden Rule
Still I confess, just the rest
Girl, I love you, and you know the truth

[Refrain]
Dry your eyes, say goodbye to a bad dream, oh yeah
(To a bad dream)

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Though there's nothing in the world, girl, I wouldn't do
To make right this wrong that I did to you
But now I got to get away, gonna get away from it all
But, if you ever need mе, baby, don't hesitate to call
[Refrain]
Dry your eyеs, say goodbye to a bad dream
(To a bad dream)

[Bridge]
(Darling, I tried) Oh, I tried, dry your eyes
Yes, this wasn't meant to be
Please realize, though I lied
That I was blind, I just couldn't see

[Refrain]
Dry your eyes, say goodbye to a bad dream
(To a bad dream)

[Outro]
Oh, dry your eyes, say goodbye to a bad dream
(To a bad dream)
Baby, dry your eyes, say goodbye to a bad dream
(To a bad dream)
Mmm, dry your eyes, say goodbye to a bad dream
(To a bad dream)
