Dreaming With My Eyes Wide Open lyrics

(tony arata)

I spent half my life on bended knee
Begging somebody to change
And the other half prayin´to 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´ll do my looking back
With my eyes closed
We can do some living
Or spend our whole life hopin?
In the end we´re left with
The one we chose
So i´ll do my dreaming with my eyes wide open
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/c/clay_walker/dreaming_with_my_eyes_wide_open.html ]
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´t
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´ll do my looking back
With my eyes closed
We can do some living
Or spend our whole life hopin?
In the end we´re left with
The one we chose
So i´ll do my dreaming with my eyes wide open

We can do some living
Or spend our whole life hopin?
In the end we´re left with
The one we chose
So i´ll do my dreaming with my eyes wide open
