My Dreams Tell It Like It Was Lyrics - Hank Snow

My dreams tell it like it was but my eyes see it like it is 

Seems like only yesterday when I had everything 

But today I can't face the hurt tomorrow bring 

For reality and yesterday is all there is 

My dreams tell it like it was but my eyes see it like it is 

All I ever wanted in my life was you 

Now there's nothing left worth looking forward to 

Except the past that's full of broken promises 

My dreams tell it like it was but my eyes see it like it is 

[ guitar ] 

I pretend your arms are holding me so tenderly 

And each embrace I've locked away in memory 

For only in my dreams your love brings happiness 

My dreams tell it like it was but my eyes see it like it is 

All I ever wanted...
