Clay Walker - Dreaming With My Eyes Wide Open lyrics

I spent half my life on bended knee

Begging somebody to change

And the other half prayin´to God

That they never would

And all it got me was twice as lost

When it all turned out the same

But all that beggin´ finally did somebody good

I used to dream all night

Of a day that was gone

But come the morning light

Forever from now on

Gonna do my dreaming with my eyes wide open

I´ll do my looking back

With my eyes closed

We can do some living

Or spend our whole life hopin´

In the end we´re left with

The one we chose

So I´ll do my dreaming with my eyes wide open

Every time the world moved on

I fell a little further behind

From running back or following someone home

Until I learned that one step forward

Will take you further on

Than a thousand back or a million that ain´t

Your own

I used to dream all night

Of a day that was gone

But come the morning light

Forever from now on

Gonna do my dreaming with my eyes wide open

I´ll do my looking back

With my eyes closed

We can do some living

Or spend our whole life hopin´

In the end we´re left with

The one we chose

So I´ll do my dreaming with my eyes wide open

We can do some living

Or spend our whole life hopin´

In the end we´re left with

The one we chose

So I´ll do my dreaming with my eyes wide open
