"I'll Dream Alone" lyrics

"I'll Dream Alone"

Long
And lonely nights
I've waited for you to put things to rights
Leaving you to do
Your thing without
Disturbance from me
Somehow I doubt you'll ever be

Back
I'll keep your things
If you ever need them, the phone still rings
And now that you're free
Of me at last
Your time is your own
Go have a blast

And I'll dream alone without you
I'll dream alone if I must
Because I guess our little castle in the sky
Just turned to dust
So I'll dream alone, that's showbiz
I'll dream alone from herein
And I'll be trying not to dream of what was once and might have been
If only I'd known
I'll dream alone

Dreams
We had a few
But what kind of dream beats you black and blue?
I wanted to scream, "Don't go away!"
But nothing came out
All I could say is

I'll dream alone without you
I'll dream alone if I must
Because I guess our little castle in the sky
Just turned to dust
So I'll dream alone, that's showbiz
I'll dream alone from herein
And I'll be trying not to dream of what was once and might have been
If only I'd known
I'll dream alone
