Love Me In My Dreams
Words and music by Allan Rosensweig

That night you told me goodbye seems like ancient history
No longer feeling that pain, I pulled your stinger out of me
This heart of mine has healed up fine, so I don’t understand
Why every time I close my eyes you’re sneaking right back in

Why do I still feel your arms around me as soon as I doze off?
Why am I tasting your kisses as if we had never stopped?
You made it clear we were never meant to be
So why do you show up and love me in my dreams?

You said we were spinning our wheels in a hurry going nowhere
Almost breaking my door, saying you needed fresh air
Took a little time for all these scars inside to disappear
Now every single night it’s like you’re waiting for me here

Why do I still feel your arms around me as soon as I doze off?
Why am I tasting your kisses as if we had never stopped?
You made it clear we were never meant to be
So why do you show up and love me in my dreams?

I lock my door I pull my covers way over my head
I slam the windows down so I don’t know how
You find your way back in

And why do I still feel your arms around me as soon as I doze off?
Why am I tasting your kisses as if we had never stopped?
You made it clear we were never meant to be
So why do you show up and love me in my dreams?
Why do you show up and love me in my dreams?
