Lyrics:

(Don Gibson)

Sweet dreams of you
Every night I go through
Why can't I forget you
And start my life anew?

Instead of having
Sweet dreams about you
You don't love me it's plain
I should know you'll never wear my name.

I should hate you
The whole night through
Instead of having
Sweet dreams about you.

--- Instrumental ---

Sweet dreams of you
Dreams I know can't come true
Why can't I forget the past
Start loving someone new?

Instead of having
Sweet dreams about you
Sweet dreams about you.
You don't love me it's plain
I should know you'll never wear my name.

I should hate you
The whole night through
Instead of having
Sweet dreams about you...
