Gary Allan Lyrics

Album: Used Heart For Sale

Wake Up Screaming 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 ear

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
