In Your Dreams

Well I was fifteen trying to make my way at a brand new school

But because I rode in the rodeo I wasn't very cool

There was this girl in my homeroom class that gave my heart a stir

Raven hair and big green eyes, I thought I'd talk to her

(And she said) In your dreams cowboy

I can't be seen with you

If you'll just open your eyes you'd see I'm not right for you

Cause I like lace and satin, and you wear those old jeans

But have no fear, all's not lost

You can love me in your dreams

Well I turned pro, went out one night to celebrate first place

When I saw her with all her friends I said it's good to see your face

(And she said) In your dreams cowboy

I can't go out with you

If you'll just open your eyes you'd see I'm no good for you

'Cause I love silk and satin, and you're still wearing jeans

But have no fear, all's not lost

You can love me in your dreams

But I never gave up and finally she gave in

For fifty years we've been best friends

I hold her hand in the hospital room, my tears rain down

I say how am I supposed to love you if you're not around

(And she said) In your dreams cowboy

I'll be right there with you

If you'll just open your eyes you'd see

I'm still in love with you

But soon I'll be in heaven, and then I'll have my wings

But have no fear when I'm gone

You can love me in your dreams

I'll love you in your dreams
