In My Dreams

REO Speedwagon · The Ballads [1999]

There was a time some time ago

When every sunrise meant a sunny day, oh a sunny day

But now when the morning light shines in

It only disturbs the dreamland where I lay, oh where I lay

I used to thank the Lord when I'd wake

For life and love and the golden sky above me

But now I pray the stars will go on shinin',

You see in my dreams you love me

Daybreak is a joyful time

Just listen to the songbird harmonies, oh the harmonies

But I wish the dawn would never come

I wish there was silence in the trees, oh the trees

If only I could stay asleep,

At least I could pretend you're thinkin' of me

'Cause nighttime is the one time I am happy, you see in my dreams



[Chorus:]

(And) We climb and climb and at the top we fly

Let the world go on below us, we are lost in time

And I don't know really what it means

All I know is that you love me, in my dreams



[Solo]



I keep hopin' one day I'll awaken, and somehow she'll be lying by my side

And as I wonder if the dawn is really breakin'

She touches me and suddenly I'm alive



[Chorus 2x]



Oh oh oh, only in my dreams
