I dreamed you paid your dues in Canada
Left me to come through   
I headed for the right way
I knew exactly just what to do    
I dreamed we played cards in the dark
And you lost and you lied   
Wasn't very hard to do
But hurt me deep down inside   
Chorus:
Mmmmmm, these dreams of you  
So real and so true  
These dreams of you  
So real So true   
My back was up against the wall
And you slowly just walked away
You never really heard my call
When I cried out that way
With my face against the sun
You pointed out for me to go
Then you said I was the one
Had to reap what you did sow
Chorus:
Bridge:
And hush-a-bye, don't ever think about it   
Go to sleep don't ever say one word  
Close you eyes, you are an angel sent down from above   
And Ray Charles was shot down
But he got up to do his best
A crowd of people gathered round
To the question answered "yes"
And you slapped me on face
I turned around the other cheek
you couldn't really stand the pace
And I would never be so meek
Chorus:
Bridge:
