                                 C
I dreamed you paid your dues in Canada;
      D           G
left me to come through.
                         C
I headed for the right way,
          D                  G
I knew exactly just what to do.
G                                 C
I dreamed we played cards in the dark,
         D             G
and you lost, and you lied.
                     C          D
Wasn't very hard to do, but it hurt me,
              G
deep down in-side.

Chorus:
C       D        G   C   D           G
These dreams of you; so real and so true.
C       D        G   C   D           G
These dreams of you; so real and so true.

My back was up against the wall
And you slowly just walked away
You never really heard my call
When I cried out that way
With my face against the sun
You pointed out for me to go
Then you said I was the one
Had to reap what you did sow

Chorus:
Mmmm, these dreams of you
So real and so true
These dreams of you, oh
So real and so true

           Em         D            G
And hush-a-bye; don't ever think about it.
       Em          D             G
Go to sleep; don't ever say one word.
          Em         D     G    Em
Close you eyes; you are an angel,
C         D       G
Sent down, from above.

And Ray Charles was shot down
But he got up to do his best
A crowd of people gathered 'round
To the question answered "yes"
And you slapped me on the face
I turned around the other cheek
You couldn't really stand the pace
And I would never be so meek

Chorus:
Mmmm, these dreams of you
So real and so true
These dreams of you
So real and so true

But hush-a-bye, hush-a-bye don't ever
think about it
Go to sleep don't ever say one word
Close your eyes, you are an angel sent
down from above
And it hurts so bad, hurts so bad
Don't ever think about it
Don't ever say a word
Close your eyes...
