And Then I Wake Up Lyrics

Your breath on my skin gives my heart a thrill
You whisper you love me and you always will
A beautiful moment I'll treasure for life
The candle burns down, your lips touch mine
And then I wake up
And I remember that you left me yesterday
It's just my dog Buck
He's lyin' there lickin' me on my face
I wanna pull up the covers
And go back to sleep
Cause my life is not nearly
As sweet as my dreams

My boss thinks I'm perfect wants to give me a raise
My own corner office with a view of the bay
He wishes he had three more just like me
Hands me a check and the executive washroom key
And then I wake up
He says I told you I needed that yesterday
You're slow as a slug
I've decided that I'm gonna dock your pay
I wanna pull up the covers
And go back to sleep
Cause my life is not nearly
As sweet as my dreams

The phone rings it's my mother
It's been quite a while
She said you've always been my favorite child
No one has a clue but I'm worth 2 or 3 mill
And you're the only one I've named in my will
And then I wake up
And she's nagging me like she does every day
She's down on her luck
Can I send her some money when I get paid
I wanna pull up the covers
And go back to sleep
Cause my life is not nearly
As sweet as my dreams

My mechanic says no charge
This one's on me
