SWEET DREAMS (Don Gibson)

Performed by Emmylou Harris (from the album Elite Hotel); Capo on 1st fret

Sweet dreams of you

Every night I go through

Why can't I forget you and start my life anew

Instead of having sweet dreams about you

You don't love me, it's plain

I should have known you'll never wear my ring

I know I should hate you the whole night through

Instead of having sweet dreams about you

Sweet dreams of you

Things I know can't come true

Why can't I forget the past, start loving someone new

Instead of having sweet dreams about you

Performed by Elvis Costello (from the album Almost Blue)

Sweet dreams of you

Every night I go through

I should hate you, girl, the whole night through

Instead of having sweet dreams all about you

You don't love me, it's plain

I should have known you'd never share my name

Why can't I forget you, girl, start loving someone new

Instead of having sweet dreams all about you

 

Why can't I forget my past, start loving someone new

Instead of having sweet dreams all about you

Sweet dreams of you

Every night I go through

I should hate you, girl, the whole night through

Instead of having sweet dreams all about you

Instead of having sweet dreams about you
