Dreaming With My Eyes Wide Open

(tony arata) I spent half my life on bended knee Begging somebody to change And the other half prayin'to god That they never would And all it got me was twice as lost When it all turned out the same But all that beggin? finally did somebody good I used to dream all night Of a day that was gone But come the morning light Forever from now on Gonna do my dreaming with my eyes wide open I'll do my looking back With my eyes closed We can do some living Or spend our whole life hopin? In the end we're left with The one we chose So i'll do my dreaming with my eyes wide open Every time the world moved on I fell a little further behind From running back or following someone home Until I learned that one step forward Will take you further on Than a thousand back or a million that ain't Your own I used to dream all night Of a day that was gone But come the morning light Forever from now on Gonna do my dreaming with my eyes wide open I'll do my looking back With my eyes closed We can do some living Or spend our whole life hopin? In the end we're left with The one we chose So i'll do my dreaming with my eyes wide open We can do some living Or spend our whole life hopin? In the end we're left with The one we chose So i'll do my dreaming with my eyes wide open
