This is one of those times

when I know it's just a dream 

but I've got Toto in my arms

and ruby slippers on my feet

and I don't want to leave 

I don't want to sit on the edge

of my sepia bed

looking at my sepia shoes

trying to remember what was said

but it evaporates instead 

And I am left softly

and you were there 

and you were there

and you were there

It sounds ok in the daylight 

but it's crushing by lamplight

There is no alone

that goes so hard

as two in the morning 

even though it's an undercard 

And I am left softly

and you were there 

and you were there

and you were there
