The true story behind the inspiration for this lyric is that when my favorite lab mix dog died suddenly, I missed her terribly. She always was by my side anywhere in the house, but her favorite spots were by my chair and by my side of the bed. When I first lost her, I dreamed about her.....and thus, the birth of the lyric...which turned into a lovely tribute to heartache.

Verse one:
Well, friends ask me how I am doing
Since you packed your bags and moved away
I tell them I’m still living
And I’m making it from day to day.
Verse two:
My days are filled with such distractions
There’s always more for me to do
There’s no time to think of your leaving me
Until my work day is through.
Chorus:
I need one night
One night with no dreams
One night of sweet peaceful sleep
One night when my dreams aren’t so blue
One night without you.
Verse three:
You wait until I am sleeping
To come back to me in my dreams
Where once again we are happy
Until the dawn when you leave me.
Chorus:
I need one night
One night with no dreams
One night of sweet peaceful sleep
One night when my dreams aren’t so blue
One night without you.
