Dream Girl

Well i shoulda gone to bed about an hour ago
Staring out the window, watching the wind blow
Thinking bout a lady, a girl whose name i can't recall

She waits in my dreams almost every night,
With eyes like stars and a smile like moonlight
But when I wake, it seems that I am alone

I can't believe, the
Girl of my dreams
leaves me with such heart ache

How is it fair this
girl with (golden) hair
can't be my dream girl when im awake

oh I've searched this globe for 25 turns
seasons have passed, lessons been learned
an empty wallet, and an emptier bed's my reward

i've looked high and low and near and far
in every saloon, tavern and bar
but you can catch more bar fly's with money
than honey would ever do

chorus

And I know that on someday she'll be mine
She'll just walk into my life
And I know that on that magic moment of time
I"ll thank my Lord and make that beautiful girl my wife

And I'll lay in awake in bed another hour or so
Staring at her face, and watching her breath blow
staring at my lady, the girl for whom I did fall

Ill thank God above for her every night
her eyes like stars and a smile like moonlight
and when I wake, I know that she'll be at home

Chorus

How is it fair
this girl with the raven hair
can be my dream girl when I'm awake
