I'm sleeping by myself tonight, he wanted it that way He took his pillow and a blanket to the couch and said we'll talk another day I'm guessing he knows it, that I've been dreaming about you Cause when he tried making love to me it got all weird, I was feeling blue And believe me I tried to forget but a part of me doesn't want to This dream keeps me alive and brings light to my life and I don't want it to So you gotta stay in my dream, don't come closer to me You gotta stay in my thoughts, don't you ever get lost I cannot have you haunting me, I cannot have you haunting me When you called me up some days ago and asked if we could talk I swear I felt my heart explode, do you know how much I long I long for you to hold me close and to feel lost again But I made a choice to tell you no, as long as I'm with somebody else Cause seven years ago I made a promise to a man who'll never leave me And though it tears me apart I'd rather stay by his side than have you free me So you gotta stay in my dream, don't come closer to me You gotta stay in my thoughts, don't you ever get lost I cannot have you haunting me, I cannot have you haunting me I cannot have you haunting me Seven years ago I made a promise to him, I promised him I'd never leave I promised him I'd never leave, I promised him I'd never leave I promised him I'd never leave So you gotta stay in my dream, don't come closer to me You gotta stay in my thoughts, don't you ever get lost I cannot have you haunting me, I cannot have you haunting me
