Maybe if I go to bed and dream tonight
Maybe if I close my eyes real tight
Maybe I'll wake in the morning light
and you'll be next to me

Maybe if I wish upon that star
Maybe if my luck can reach that far
It'll find you wherever you are
And you'll be next to me

I don't know the rules of this game
but I'm probably breaking every one
So I'll dream on, baby, dream on

I don't know how I can explain
what has been going on
So I'll dream on, baby, dream on

Maybe it'll be a passionate night
you and your man'll be curled up tight
Maybe something won't feel so right
you should be next to me

Maybe a letter arrived at your door
Maybe you knew what I was looking for
Maybe I shoulda said so much more
than I did today

I don't know the rules of this game
but I'm probably breaking every one
So I'll dream on, baby, dream on

I don't know how I can explain
what has been going on
So I'll dream on, baby, dream on

And in the morning I wake alone
To an empty house that doesn't feel like home
I can have somebody lying next to me
But it doesn't feel right
After dreams of you all night
So I'll close my eyes again
So I'll have a chance again
To dream on, baby, dream on

Maybe if I wait long enough
Maybe if I bide my time some more
Maybe I'll hear a knock at my door
and you'll be next to me

Maybe I'll be the lonely one
living in a world without you
Maybe that's how it has to be
you're not next to me

I don't know the rules of this game
but I'm probably breaking every one
So I'll dream on, baby, dream on

I don't know how I can explain
what has been going on
So I'll dream on, baby, dream on
