Lyrics for Song: In My Dreams
Lyrics for Album: 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

In My Dreams
REO Speedwagon's "In My Dreams" appears on their 1999 compilation album, The Ballads, serving as a retrospective look at the group's enduring legacy. While the band is best known for 1970s and 1980s hits like "Can't Fight This Feeling" and "Roll With Me," this track reflects their continued relevance in the rock genre. The song utilizes the band's signature blend of melodic rock and polished production, characteristic of their work during the late 20th century. It stands as a testament to their ability to craft anthemic ballads that resonate with audiences across decades, maintaining the emotional core found in their earlier catalog while appealing to a new generation of listeners. |
