If I Could Only Stay Asleep
Written by Ethel Bassey and Wayland Chandler

(As recorded by Patsy Cline 2/13/58)



Last night I dreamed

Of you, sweetheart

Once more you loved me

You said we'd never part



It's dawn again

Oh, how sad am I

My dream has ended

And tears fill my eyes



Gently swaying around my feet

Like memories from the past

Each leaf reminds me of a dream

A dream that wouldn't last



For once I know

Your promise you would keep

If I could only

Only stay asleep



(Repeat last two verses)
