It’s Hard To Be The Dreamer (When I Used To Be The Dream)

You were always there anytime I called
I was sure your love for me could never die
When it came to loving me
You gave it all
When it came to loving you
I seldom tried

I was the first thing on your mind when you’d awake
And your last thought
When you’d close your eyes to sleep
Ain’t it funny how the story turned around
But it’s hard to be the dreamer when I used to be the dream

It’s hard to be the dreamer when I used to be the dream
Lovin’ you just every now and then
I should have known better
That the door could swing both ways
Now I’m standing on the outside looking in
Lord it’s hard to be the dreamer when I used to be the dream

You’re the first thing on my mind when I awake
And my last thought
When I close my eyes to sleep
Now I’m giving you all the love I used to take
Now that I’m the dreamer and you are the dream

It’s hard to be the dreamer when I used to be the dream
Lovin’ you just every now and then
I should have known better
That the door could swing both ways
Now I’m standing on the outside lookin’ in
Lord, it’s hard to be the dreamer when I used to be the dream
Lord, it’s hard to be the dreamer when I used to be the dream
