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
