Music & lyrics: john popper
How can i stay awake when i know that my dreams will be of you
These moments i spend with you in my slumber are much too few
There are those who say that i spend too much time with my mind in an unconscious state
But how can there be harm in your arms in the dreams i create
What is right, what is wrong
What is poetry and what is song
Why can’t i be left where i belong
Oh, to dream on, oh to dream on
Oh, what’s sincere
What is fake
Why do they fear for my own sake
What magic rule will i break
Oh, to dream on, oh, to dream on
It’s not a crime, too sublime to imagine a better life than this
One thought of you and i can’t resist
I don’t want to stay in a gray world that is so corrupt
Sometimes i pray, and i pray that i’ll never wake up
What is right, what is wrong
What is poetry and what is song
Why can’t i be left where i belong
Oh, to dream on, oh to dream on
Oh, what’s sincere
What is fake
Why do they fear for my own sake
What magic rule will i break
Oh, to dream on, oh, to dream on
Oh, you know that i want you, so please let me sleep
In my dreams i will see you, in my dreams we will meet
In my sleep, love is easy, you know how i care
But i wake in the morning i and find you’re not there
Come back to the living is what my friends say
One thought of you washes all of the words away
And i tell them
And i tell them
Why don’t you just let me dream on
Dream on
