Dreams and Memories

Words and Music ©2017, 2025 by John Speckine LYRICS: Every night when the sun goes down I feel a quick shot of fear 'Cause when I lay my head down and close my eyes Dreams sometimes bring you right here. In these dreams, sometimes you’re here with me Like you never said goodbye And in others, I relive you leaving me And wake up wanting to die BRIDGE When my eyes open the first light of day Already, I can see your face And your memory’s with me wherever I go Every time and every place Though it’s been years since you said goodbye Your memory still stays alive Maybe a song or a place that we used to go Puts you back into my mind I don’t want to sleep, don’t want to wake up Both end up breaking my heart But I don’t know what’s worse, dreams or memories Ever since we’ve been apart BREAK It seems to me you’re always on my mind You’re on my mind every day And there are days that your memory makes me cry I wish it would just go away Each night I sleep with the TV on To keep me from thinking of you But no matter, as soon as I go to sleep You’re in my dreams - what else is new? I don’t want to sleep, don’t want to wake up Both end up breaking my heart But I don’t know what’s worse, dreams or memories Ever since we’ve been apart No, I don’t know what’s worse, dreams or memories Ever since we’ve been apart.
