I can't remember the dream that I had last night But I woke with delight and excitement And then when I tried to remember the dream that I had last night It was gone but the feeling I had in the dream stayed on When I'm awake and I look around me I can faithfully record everything that I see Most of my memories tend to be sad So I wish I could remember the dream that I had I can't remember the dream that I had last night If I could I would write it out, underline the highlights Of the dream that would now redefine my life Be a new road map, affirmation, and guiding light When I'm awake I note all that I see And remember it with photographic accuracy Most of my memories tend to be bad And I'm sad I can't remember the dream that I had Why can't I remember it when I can't forget unpleasant thoughts? I want to push them away They creep like weeds Like weeds, they cover all the flowerbeds I can't remember the dream that I had last night But the simple fact that my mind could concoct such a thing As the incredible dream that I had last night Is a clue to the key to a door to a world like that My daily life doesn't interest me It's a never-ending litany of pain and ennui This waking nightmare is driving me mad And I wish I could remember the dream that I had When I'm awake I note all that I see And remember it with photographic accuracy All of my memories make me feel bad And I'm sad I can't remember the dream that I had Why can't I remember the dream that I had? Wish I could go live in the dream that I had |
