Lyrics Emmylou Harris

Emmylou Harris

In My Dreams

When the sun goes down on the other side of town tonight

And the world is asleep dreamin' in the deep moonlight

I'll slip away in the shadows out of your life

You don't want' me anymore so I'll close the door when I leave

My bags are packed and I'll give you back your keys

You keep your ring and I'll keep your memory

But in my dreams at night, oh oh

Everything will work out right

'Cause I'll still hold you tight, in my dreams

Well, it's hard to take when love breaks down and dies

But it's better to quit than to sit each night and cry

I'd rather know the truth than to live through a life of lies

But in my dreams at night, oh oh

Everything will work out right

'Cause I'll still hold you tight, in my dreams

Maybe it's for the best to give this love of ours a rest

But I'll come runnin' back if you want me

Well, bye bye baby it seems that we're all through

You sure know how to make this little girl blue

When you say you don't want the things, I can do for you

But in my dreams at night, oh oh

Everything will work out right

'Cause I'll still hold you tight, in my dreams

In my dreams at night, oh oh

Everything will work out right

'Cause I'll still hold you tight, in my dreams
