Darn That Dream

Darn That Dream - Johnny Nash

Love is a strange and powerful thing

It can bring you down or make you sing

Love may give you a millionaire skin

But it only gave me one dream

Darn that dream I dream each night

You say you love me and you hold me tight

But when I awake you're out of sight

Oh darn that dream

Darn your lips and darn your eyes

They lift me high above the moonlit skies

Then I tumble out of paradise

Oh darn that dream

Darn that one track mind of mine

It can't understand that you don't care

Just to change the mood I'm in

I'd welcome a nice old nightmare

Darn that dream and bless it too

Without that dream I never would have you

But it haunts me and it won't come true

Oh darn that dream
