Dreaming with My Eyes Open

(tony arata)

I spent half my life on bended knee

Begging somebody to change

And the other half prayin憩o god

That they never would

And all it got me was twice as lost

When it all turned out the same

But all that beggin?finally did somebody good

I used to dream all night

Of a day that was gone

But come the morning light

Forever from now on

Gonna do my dreaming with my eyes wide open

I恻l do my looking back

With my eyes closed

We can do some living

Or spend our whole life hopin?

In the end we愉e left with

The one we chose

So i恻l do my dreaming with my eyes wide open

Every time the world moved on

I fell a little further behind

From running back or following someone home

Until i learned that one step forward

Will take you further on

Than a thousand back or a million that ain憩

Your own

I used to dream all night

Of a day that was gone

But come the morning light

Forever from now on

Gonna do my dreaming with my eyes wide open

I恻l do my looking back

With my eyes closed

We can do some living

Or spend our whole life hopin?

In the end we愉e left with

The one we chose

So i恻l do my dreaming with my eyes wide open

We can do some living

Or spend our whole life hopin?

In the end we愉e left with

The one we chose

So i恻l do my dreaming with my eyes wide open
