Lyrics: DREAM OF HER TONIGHT

Well, I'm standing at the crossroads
Of the fast lanes of my mind
And I'm getting tired
Of leavin' that girl behind
And I'd love to take her with me
Each and every place I go
But my tongue gets tied
When I try to tell her so
And I'm so tired of leavin' things this way
But I ain't got words to say
The way I'm feelin'...
Chorus
So I'll just dream of her tonight (and miss her...)
And long to hold her tight (and kiss her...)
And it somehow don't seem right so mister I'm pleadin'
Won't you sit and write a song for me
The kind the ladies love
With guitars and three-part harmony
And the moon-lit stars above
And I'll sit and sing it softly
Tell her who I'm dreamin' of...
Well, I'm rollin' through the canyons
In the hollows of my mind
And I'm getting tired
Of leavin' that girl behind
And I've somehow got to reach her
Teach her everything I know
But my brain gets fried
When I try to tell her so
And I'm so tired of leavin' things this way
But I ain't got words to say
The way I'm feelin'...
Chorus
So I'll just dream of her tonight (and miss her...)
And long to hold her tight (and kiss her...)
And it somehow don't seem right-so mister I'm pleadin'
Won't you sit and write a song for me
The kind she'll understand
With guitars and three-part harmony
And "The Front-Porch Country Band"
And I'll sit and sing it softly to her
Tell her I'm her man...
Well, I'm standing at the off-ramp
Of the exits of my mind
And I'm getting tired
Of leavin' that girl behind
And I'd love to take her with me
Each and every place I go
But my tongue gets tied
When I try to tell her so
And I'm so tired of leavin' things this way
But I ain't got words to say
The way I'm feelin'...
Chorus
So I'll just dream of her tonight (and miss her...)
And long to hold her tight (and kiss her...)
And it somehow don't seem right-so mister I'm pleadin'
Won't you sit and write a song for me
The kind the ladies love
With guitars and three-part harmony
And the moon-lit stars above
And I'll sit and sing it softly
Tell her who I'm dreamin' of...
