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

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
