lyrics

Each time I go to sleep
With my baby at my side
I wish her the sweetest dreams
And she responds with a smile
That reassures me for while
At least that’s how it seems

But little did I know
What was soon to come
When I found out my baby was the cheating kind
That tore my heart in two
And now all I can do
Is watch her leave our dreams behind

A dream can easily turn
Shattered by casual intent
And the nightmare takes it place
A trance the devil sent

So now each time I go to sleep
There’s no one by my side
To wish the sweetest dreams
And I long for her again
In the cold December rain
But for her serpent schemes
That put paid to our sweetest dreams
