Lyric
All my friends ask what can they doTo help me get over you But I’m not blue and all broken in two Why should I miss you?Cause you’ll be back every night in my dreamsYou’ll be back, and it won’t even seem Like your gone, no I won’t be alone Cause you’ll be back every night in my dreams.Walk the floor and cry until dawnWatch the door and sit by the phone Oh, no not me why worry and moan Just because you’re gone.Cause you’ll be back every night in my dreamsYou’ll be back, and it won’t even seem Like your gone, no I won’t be alone Cause you’ll be back every night in my dreams.Cause you’ll be back every night in my dreamsYou’ll be back, and it won’t even seem Like your gone, no I won’t be alone Cause you’ll be back every night in my dreams.Cause you’ll be back every night in my dreamsYou’ll be back, and it won’t even seem Like your gone, no I won’t be alone Cause you’ll be back every night in my dreams…
