When I woke up this morning Wiped the sleep from my eyes Found a new day dawning And suddenly I realize You're gone Tell me I was dreaming That you didn't leave me here to cry You didn't say you don't love me anymore And it was just my imagination telling lies Tell me that you didn't say goodbye I'm in a state of confusion I hope things aren't what they seem If this is really happening Just let me go back to dream You're home Tell me I was dreaming That you didn't leave me here to cry You didn't say you don't love me anymore And it was just my imagination telling lies Tell me that you didn't say goodbye Tell me I was dreaming That you didn't leave me here to cry You didn't say you don't love me anymore And it was just my imagination telling lies Tell me that you didn't say goodbye
