Wake Up Screaming - Lyrics by Gary Allan


Lyrics

(jim lauderdale/john leventhal)

Used to sleep through the night peacefully
Not a care in the world got to me
But now i lay me down to sleep
I'm afraid of what i might see
I wake up screamin` when your dream goes by

Used to feel like a man in control
Unaware of the storm in my soul
The sight of you took away my breath
I wake up screamin` when your dream goes by

Now in this dream i'm in a room
All dressed up just like a groom
Watchin` shadows dance in the ledge
Suddenly you then appear you whisper in my hear
And i jump right over the edge

Just a dream that i seem to recall
Can't you tell me which doctor to call
Tell him please i'm not feelin too well
Everynight i'm hearin` wedding bells
I wake up screamin` when your dream goes by

I lay there in an ice cold sweat
Sheets are torn and they're soakin` wet
I wake up screamin` when your dream goes by
I wake up screamin` when your dream goes by
I wake up screamin` when your dream goes by
