Walker, Clay - Dreaming With My Eyes Open Lyrics






I spent half my life on bended knee
Begging somebody to change
And the other half prayin' to God
That they never would

And all it got me was twice as lost
When it all turned out the same
But all that beggin' finally did somebody good

I used to dream all night
Of the day that was gone
But come the mornin' light
Forever from now on

Gonna do my dreamin'
With my eyes wide open
I'll do my looking back
With my eyes closed

We can do some livin'
Or spend our whole life hopin'
'Cause in the end we're left with
The one we chose

So, I'll do my dreaming
With my eyes wide open

Every time the world moved on
I fell a little further behind
From runnin' back
Or followin' someone home

Till I learned that one step forward
Will take you further on
Than a thousand back
Or a million that ain't your own

I used to dream all night
Of the day that was gone
But come the mornin' light
Forever from now on

Gonna do my dreamin'
With my eyes wide open
I'll do my looking back
With my eyes closed

We can do some livin'
Or spend our whole life hopin'
But in the end we're left with
The one we chose

So, I'll do my dreaming
With my eyes wide open

We can do some livin'
Or spend our whole life hopin'
'Cause in the end we're left with
The one we chose

So, I'll do my dreaming
With my eyes wide open

    Американцы сами не плохие и даже хорошие люди Но там евреюги мутят воду и монипулируют самими американцами коренными, Я лично уважаю северную америку, я фанат многих вещей и людей, теле гореяв особенно кино георев США, ретро голден майер, особенно в жанре вестерн. девушки США хорошинькие Я заиетил это давно, и сочные причем, не то что кашолки и мартышки нашего зоопарка какастана))))

    I am big fan coutry musics and big fan Westerns cowboys films у Меня было 1000 видео кассет с фильмами вестерн стиле, и Я оттуда закалил свою смекалку и проворность именно с этих фильмов Я изучил психологический портрет американцев.

    But all that beggin' finally did somebody good

    I used to dream all night of a day that was gone
    But come the mornin' light forever from now on

    Gonna do my dreamin' with my eyes wide open
    I'll do my looking back With my eyes closed
    We can do some livin'
    Or spend our whole lives hopin'
    End the end we'll live with the one we chose

  71. M.... G....

    this song fits my life perfectly. i miss the days of the new traditional country music singers,today's pop and bro country just doesn't have the heart and soul of singers like clay.

    M.... G....

    Michael Glenn ' bdrm

    M.... G....

    @
    countrygirl country musiclover
    triggered much?

    M.... G....

    countrygirl country musiclover u know ur fucking dumbass mine ur own business and let people have an opinion if ur talj trash about the good music bc I've seen u all over clay walker go listen to fgl or Luke Bryan since you prasie them so much

    M.... G....

    countrygirl country musiclover bro music, started with colt ford, then jawga boys, the lacs, mini thin. Pop is bands in the country genre like Florida Georgia line types

    M.... G....

    @David Smith i totally agree with you that the 90 and 80's are so awesome.

  72. m.... m....

    ♡ look what followed me home ♡MERCY ♡

    m.... m....

    Thats a David ball song

  73. O.... B....

    Love you Clay

  74. j.... p....

    Great Song Clay Walker is a Great Singer!!!!!!!!!

  75. L.... p....

    Jacksfilms?

  76. b.... d....

    I live by this ............

  77. D.... W....

    ACC's #10 song of the '94 survey year. Clay, you hit #1 in Billboard, 8-27-94.

  78. T.... T....

    He has a really nice butt

    T.... T....

    Not anymore. He's put on the pounds. He lives in my hometown.

    T.... T....

    +TheRanhughes - Kinda hard to manage the weight when you're afflicted with MS, plus still holding down a career (writing, producing, etc), managing sizeable investments and, last but NOT least, "managing" a family.

    T.... T....

    D Railroad Yes, I know. I wasn't putting him down, he's a great guy. I was just commenting on the fact that he has a little more weight on him these days.

  79. h.... w....

    If country music still sounded like this, I would still be listening to country radio.....but it doesn't and I don't. 

    h.... w....

    Exactly. Also I like ur username its super epic :)

    h.... w....

    Lol, thank you.  I can't remember the exact moment that the inspiration for that name hit me but I'm fairly certain alcohol played a significant role in the process.  Yep, I wuz likkered up.  

    h.... w....

    @hillbillyjedininja warrior I completely agree. Every country music station I tune to plays Taylor Swift half the time. Clay Walker was a true country singer... shame he's not nearly as popular nowadays as he was in the 1990s.

  80. S.... C....

    Haven't heard this song in years.

  81. T.... ....

    He has a nice big butt

  82. J.... H....

    has anybody heard how he's doing with his Multiple Sclerosis?  havent heard anything in years about him

    J.... H....

    he is doing great actually if you didn't already know he had it you would probably never know he manages it well and it has not stopped his life or his dreams he has kids with his new wife and of course his kids with Lori he seems very happy and energetic its been 20 years since his diagnosis

    J.... H....

    Seen him in concert Sunday.was an amazing show.

    J.... H....

    Seen him in concert a year and a half ago in south tx he was amazing and seemed to be doing very well. Put on a helluva show😍

  83. j.... ....

    Still one of his best songs. Gotta love 90's country classics like this! :)

    j.... ....

    Tony Arata also wrote "The Dance" by Garth Brooks.

  84. N.... ....

    One of the greatest songs from the one of the greatest years in country music history.  Still awesome after 20 years.

  85. K.... K....

    I meant 90's music

  86. K.... K....

    Love the 90's country music and hes still a good looking man !!!!

  87. r.... ....

    cassandra,

    pay very close attention to this song!

  88. X.... ....

    Flashback to the 90s... great decade for country music.

  89. G.... ....

    While the song itself is a good one, quite frankly, the best part about this video is the woman in it because I think she's beautiful in a regular, girl next door, kind of way.

  90. g.... ....

    They dont make music like this anymore.

  91. M.... ....

    I have been dreaming with my eyes wide open for a year. I decided to close them and dream cuz none of them were even close to coming true. Now my dreams are finally falling into place. Thank u Jesus

  92. O.... R....

    Oh yes love it

  93. M.... O....

    Jó!!!
