I would prefer not to wake
from dreams of you at night
Here all alone, not holding you
in the morning light
I would prefer not to feel
your warm hand in mine
Because when I wake, it ain't real
It was only in my mind
CH
But if I'm gonna dream
Dreams of me and you
Then let them all come true
If I'm gonna dream
Dreams of me and you
There's nothing I can do
If I'm gonna dream...
I would prefer not to hear
your laughter in my ear
If when I wake it's all fake
My pillow can't compare
So stop looking back with a smile
As you lead me to your bed
Then disappearing every time I open my eyes
Like a phantom in my head
CH
But if I'm gonna dream
Dreams of me and you
Then let them all come true
If I'm gonna dream
Dreams of me and you
There's nothing I can do
Sunrise, Sunrise
I would prefer not to feel
your warm hand in mine
Because when I wake, it ain't real
This is all that I will find
CH
But if I'm gonna dream
Dreams of me and you
Then let them all come true
If I'm gonna dream
Dreams of me and you
There's nothing I can do
If I'm gonna dream...
