It's Hard to Be the Dreamer (When I Used to Be the Dream) - Tammy Wynette

You were always there anytime I called

I was sure your love for me could never die

When it came to lovin' me you gave it all

When it came to lovin' you I seldom tried

I was the first thing on your mind when you’d awake

And your last thought when you’d close your eyes to sleep

Ain’t it funny how the story turned around

But it’s hard to be the dreamer when I used to be the dream

It’s hard to be the dreamer when I used to be the dream

Lovin' you just every now and then

I should have known better that the door could swing both ways

Now I’m standing on the outside lookin' in

Lord it’s hard to be the dreamer when I used to be the dream

You’re the first thing on my mind when I awake

And my last thought when I close my eyes to sleep

Now I’m giving you all the love I used to take

Now that I’m the dreamer and you are the dream

It’s hard to be the dreamer when I used to be the dream

Lovin' you just every now and then

I should have known better that the door could swing both ways

Now I’m standing on the outside lookin' in

Lord it’s hard to be the dreamer when I used to be the dream

Lord it’s hard to be the dreamer when I used to be the dream
