Woke in the night from a sweet dream
Hoped in my heart that it was true
I look at the space on your pillow
I cried and I cried over you

When you're not a dream
You're a heartache
You're not a sweet dream
You're tearing me apart
You're a memory I can't shake
Every minute I'm awake
Oh when you're not a sweet dream
Breaking my heart

You held me and told me you loved me
And I was in heaven for a while
I woke up alone and forsaken
I broke down and wept like a child

When you're not a dream
You're a heartache
You're not a sweet dream
You're tearing me apart
You're a memory I can't shake
Every minute I'm awake
Oh when you're not a sweet dream
Breaking my heart

You're a sweet dream, oh such a sweet dream
A dream I love so well
You're a sweet dream, oh such a sweet dream
'Til morning comes and breaks your magic spell

I wake up each morning without you
I wander alone thru each day
But each night while I'm sleeping I find you
No one can take you away

When you're not a dream
You're a heartache
You're not a sweet dream
You're tearing me apart
You're a memory I can't shake
Every minute I'm awake
Oh when you're not a sweet dream
Breaking my heart

You're a sweet dream, oh such a sweet dream
A dream I love so well
You're a sweet dream, oh such a sweet dream
'Til morning comes and breaks your magic spell
'Til morning comes and breaks your magic spell
'Til morning comes and breaks your magic spell
