Question
you Beth-  pre 1973 lyrics (probably 60's): "...don't wake me, I'm dreaming; don't wake me, I'll cry; when I get that feeling don't let my dream world die...". Who and what please.    sir.ralph

Answer
Hi Sir Ralph!  The song you're looking for is Jack Greene's "Don't Wake Me I'm Dreaming."  It was released January 1, 1969.  Mack Warner also released the song in 1968.  I've included the lyrics for you below.  Hope this helps!

Here's a link to a site that has the Warner Mack verson:

Lyrics:
It sure is good to be back in your arms again
To be loving you the way I used to do
I knew all along someday your love I'd win
That time would finally bring me back to you

Don't wake me I'm dreaming
Don't wake me I'll cry
Let me keep this feeling
Don't let my dream world die

[ piano ]

Your lips are touching mine the way they used to do
You're saying all the words I wanna hear
I've forgiven you for leavin' with your someone new
And all that matters now is that you're near

Don't wake me I'm dreaming...
Don't wake me I'm dreaming don't let my dream world die
