Had a dream about you, baby
Had a dream about me and you
Had a dream and I woke up cryin'
Well, I can try but I just can't stop
And the time is draggin' by, tick-tock
Oh my heart, it just can't love no one but you

Well, I'm high and dry and lonely
I'm as lonesome as can be
And I stare out of my window
Well, I can play but I just can't win
And the weather's lookin' mighty grim
Oh my heart, it just can't love no one but you

[Chorus]
Oh my heart, it can't love no one but you
My heart can't love no one but you
Oh my heart, it just can't love no one but you
Oh my heart can't love no one but you
My heart can't love no one but you
Oh my heart, it just can't love no one but you

Had a dream about you, baby
Had a dream about me and you
Had a dream and I woke up cryin'
Well, I can try but I just can't stop
And the time is draggin' by, tick-tock
Oh my heart, it just can't love no one but you

Oh my heart, it just can't love no one but you
