In My Dreams

Words and music ©2000, 2016, 2025 by John Speckine Lyrics below. This song has an interesting evolution. I wrote it as a country waltz. For some reason, when I was practicing for recording, I started playing it in 4/4 instead. Next thing you know, I'm playing Major 7th chords on the piano and SHAZAM! - soft jazz. LYRICS: In my dreams, I see your face You look at me, smile on your face I kiss your lips, you close your eyes Then I wake up and wanna die I'm all alone, you're not with me You're with someone, but it's not me And my heart breaks a little more Each time you don't knock on my door When I met you, I lost my heart And now my world is torn apart I'm so afraid of life alone It's what I face now that you're gone BRIDGE In my dreams, I hold you tight And we make love all through the night You fall asleep inside my arms Then I wake up and stare in the dark I'm all alone, you're not with me You're with someone, but it's not me And my heart breaks a little more Each time you don't knock on my door When I met you, I lost my heart And now my world is torn apart I'm so afraid of life alone It's what I face now that you're gone Words and music ©2000, 2016 by John Speckine
