I LIE AWAKE AND DREAM OF YOU
w&m by Dana Countryman

I turn the lights out, and I go to bed,
but it’s no use I can’t get the thought of you out of my head.
It’s really quite a joke to try to sleep,
‘cause I close my eyes and that’s the time your memory I keep
So I lie awake and wonder if you’re awake like me,
the only thing I’m sure of, is tonight it’s gonna be

Another night of counting sheep,
another night I’ll never sleep
I close my eyes, but your face keeps shinin’ through
So instead, I lie awake and dream of you

Is this the real thing? It’s so hard to tell,
‘cause after all it’s true that I don’t know you all that well
My friends all tell me not to lose my head, so I try to listen to them
but I lose my heart instead
I stare out of my window and watch the stars above
Another sleepless night, and just another fool in love

Another night of counting sheep,
another night I’ll never sleep
I close my eyes, but your face keeps shinin’ through
So instead, I lie awake and dream of you

Maybe I’m a fool to carry on the way I do
But I know I’d only fall asleep, and start to dream of you

I close my eyes, but your face keeps shinin’ through
So instead, I lie awake and dream,
instead, I lie awake and dream…
instead, I lie awake and dream of you

about

Dana Countryman Seattle, Washington

This artist remains a mystery. He never performs live in concert, these days. Deeply allergic to hip-hop and most modern radio sounds, he stays happy in his retro pop world.
