Prisoner's Dream Lyrics - Hank Snow

Last night as I lay sleeping I dreamed a dream so fair 

I dreamed about my darling a rose was in her hair 

I dreamed I left this prison started life anew 

She told me that she loved me told me her love was true 

It was only a dream just a prisoner's dream 

As I lay on my cold prison bed 

My dreams of you can never come true 

Dear girl I wish that I was dead 

I dreamed she called me darling kissed me and held me tight 

I dreamed that we were married dreamed of a starry night 

I dreamed about our children playing around my knee 

They loved me called me daddy they thought the world of me 

It was only a dream... 

I dreamed a dream so lovely heaven on earth it seemed 

My wife and little children came to me in my dreams 

They threw their arms around me I was their pride and joy 

My little wife she loved me I was her darling boy 

It was only a dream...
