One of many songs released after Patsy Cline’s tragic death in 1963, ‘If I Could Only Stay Asleep’ was initially recorded in 1958. The song captures a dreary and depressive emotional state as the speaker reflects on a relationship which has ended and its lasting impact on her.
Last night I dreamed
Of you, sweetheart
Once more you loved me
You said we'd never part
It's dawn again
Oh, how sad am I
My dream has ended
And tears fill my eyes
Dead leaves swirling around my feet
Like memories from the past
Each leaf reminds me of a dream
A dream that wouldn't last
For once I know
Your promise you would keep
If I could only
Only stay asleep
Gently swaying around my feet
Like memories from the past
Each leaf reminds me of a dream
A dream that wouldn't last
For once I know
Your promise you would keep
If I could only
Only stay asleep...
If I Could Only Stay Asleep was written by Wayland Chandler.
