Lyrics
When I woke up this morning
Wiped the sleep from my eyes
I found a new day dawning
And suddenly I realize
You’re goneTell me I was dreaming
That you didn’t leave me here to cry
You didn’t say
You don’t love me anymore
It was just my imagination telling lies
Tell me that you didn’t say goodbyeI’m in a state of confusion
I hope things aren’t what they seem
If this is really happening
Just let me go back to dream
You’re homeTell me I was dreaming
That you didn’t leave me here to cry
You didn’t say
You don’t love me anymore
It was just my imagination telling lies
Tell me that you didn’t say goodbyeTell me I was dreaming (tell me I was dreaming)
That you didn’t leave me here to cry
You didn’t say
You don’t love me anymore
It was just my imagination telling lies
Oh, tell me that you didn’t say goodbye
Darlin’, tell me
You didn’t say
Goodbye
