You Were Gone

(álbum: This Is Brook Benton - 1976)

In my sleep last night
I dreamed that you were here
But when I awoke
I found that you weren't here

Disappearing in the wind
You were gone from me again
Just that thought opened my eyes
Woke me up, and made me realise

You were gone, you were gone
It was all in my mind
You were gone, you were gone
It was all in my mind, mm

I saw visions of teardrops
All over your face
Even though you would welcome me back
To your warm embrace

But it was only a dream
So real to me it seemed
It was though you were holding my hand
But when I woke up, you weren't there

You were gone, yes, you were gone
It was all in my mind
You were gone, you were gone
It was all in my mind
You were gone

In my sleep last night
I dreamed that you were here
But when I awoke
I found that you weren't here

You were gone from me again
Yes, it's hearing in the wind
Just that thought opened my eyes
Woke me up, and made me realise

You were gone, you were gone
It was all in my mind
You were gone, you were gone
It was all in my mind, mm (Ooh)

I'm so glad
You were gone
It was all in my mind
I'm so glad
It was only a dream
It was only, only, only, only, only in my, my, my, my mind

(You were gone, ooh)
(You were gone, ooh)
(You were gone, ooh)
(You were gone, ooh)
