about

A big thanks to Rick Mester of " Sombrance " for lending his wonderful vocal talents on this song.
This was one of those songs that almost wrote itself, about two o'clock in the morning the idea song came to me
and an hour or so the lyrics were done.

lyrics

when i wake up

written by rjw
1st. verse

i fell in a trance when i asked you to dance
you smiled and agreed
we’re out on this dance floor, dancing real slow , such a romantic scene
that look in you eyes say this must be true love
surely this must be a dream, when i wake up , i wanna wake up with you in my arms

chorus

dreams may come and dreams may go, some are too good to be true
just like this dream i am in with you

2nd. verse

we’ve come a long way since that special day, it’s such a beautiful place
i’m afraid if i’m shaken ,i will awaken , you’ll be gone without a trace
i’ll then spend my day’s sleeping my life away trying to get back to you ,
cause, when i wake up ,i wanna wake up with you in my arms

chorus

2nd chorus
dreams may come and dreams may go ,some are too good to be true
just like this dream i am in with you
no ,please don’t shake me don’t awake me , i wanna see where this leads
cause when i wake up i wanna wake up with you in my arms
