Hush, hush...you broke my heart but that was a dream now
Hush, hush...I thought I heard you're calling my name now

Early in the morning, late in the evening
Oh gotta believe me honey, I never was a dreamer

Hush, hush...I thought heard you're calling my name now
Hush, hush...you broke my heart but that was a dream now
Hush, hush...I thought I heard you're calling my name now
Hush, hush...you broke my heart but that was a dream now
