Lyrics
All my friends ask what can they do
To 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 dreams
You’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 dawn
Watch 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 dreams
You’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
