My dreams have turned to nightmares
At night I hear them creeping up the stairs
The dreams that haunt
Are still the ones I have not got
My dreams have turned to nightmares
My dreams have turned to nightmares
I raised them up from tiny little thoughts
At first they sought
To bring happiness as they ought
But now my dreams are nightmares
My dreams have turned to nightmares
They stand around and stare down at me
Their judging eyes
Look down and criticize
My dreams have turned to nightmares
My dreams have turned to nightmares
I wouldn't have it any other way
They give me hope
Keep me from thinking 'bout the rope
My dreams keep me from nightmares
Yeah my dreams keep me from nightmares
