A NIGHTMARE
BY: Shelly R. Walden
!0/3/09

CHORUS 1
I heard them call out my name, it was just like a dream
They gave me an award, for all the song’s I sing
Then it all turned out, turned out to be a nightmare
CHORUS 2
I felt like such a fool standing up on that stage
Nobody made a sound I wish somebody would wave
Let the floor open-up, open-up, so I could disappear

VS #1 I really don’t belong here, no this couldn’t be mine
I put the words on paper, try to get them to rhyme
You can have this thing back, I don’t care, I cried in my despair

VS #2 I can write a good story, but I don’t sing very well
I could play the guitar, then everybody could tell
They just called the wrong name, it’s a shame, who’s gonna take the blame

VS #3 No, I’m not an entertainer with my name up in lights
I don’t seek fame or fortune ohh but some day I might
I wish the floored open up, open up, so I could disappear
But I’m still standing here, It was a nightmare, what am I doing here

Repeat 1st Chorus...(then) Somebody, won’t you wake me, wake me up from this dream
My feet won’t move at all, can anyone hear me scream
You can have this thing back, I don’t care, I cried in my despair

Repeat 2nd VS... I heard a mighty rumble felt the stage move and shake
The light’s were swaying wild, ‘till I thought they would break
Then, the crowd jumped up, no despair, They screamed out, loud and clear
I felt like such a star, standing up on that stage
I couldn’t say a thing, but everybody sure waved
You can’t have this thing back, I don’t care, I sang out loud and clear

Repeat 4th Vs...I felt somebody shake me, heard them call out my name
I couldn’t shake the nightmare that was still in my brain
Just then, the sky opened up, opened up, the nightmare disappeared
The rain fell everywhere; it was a nightmare, just a nightmare

Repeat 1st CHORUS ...( then last line again) It was a nightmare, just a nightmare
