In My Dreams

Rick Nelson · Very Thought Of You [1997]

(D. Harmony, C. Temen)



I'll see you tonight

In the place where we meet in my dreams

I'll hold you tonight

Like I do every night in my dreams

I can't wait for tonight

Is it the same way with you, I hope it is

I hope the dream that you're dreaming

Is the same dream that I'm dreaming too.



There may come a day

When I need you outside of my dreams

But until that day

I'll keep you inside of my dreams

I can't wait for tonight

Is it the same way with you, I hope it is

I hope the dream that you're dreaming

Is the same dream that I'm dreaming too.



I don't know what's wrong with me

I feel funny inside

And if I never come out of this dream

I'll be satisfied.



I'll see you tonight

In the place where we meet in my dreams

I'll hold you tonight

Like I do every night in my dreams

I can't wait for tonight

Is it the same way with you, I hope it is

I hope the dream that you're dreaming

Is the same dream that I'm dreaming too.



Mmm, I hope the dream that you're dreaming

Is the same dream that I'm dreaming too

Oh yeah, I hope the dream that you're dreaming

Is the same dream that I'm dreaming too...

In My Dreams

Rick Nelson's "In My Dreams" stands as a poignant example of his mid-1960s pop balladry, capturing the melancholic sentiment of longing through a smooth vocal delivery. Recorded for the album *Very Thought Of You*, the track exemplifies Nelson's ability to blend rock instrumentation with the emotional depth characteristic of his era's best-selling singles. As part of his extensive discography, the song reflects the transitional period in his career where he moved beyond his earlier rock and roll hits into more mature, soul-influenced compositions. The recording remains a staple of his catalog, showcasing his signature style that prioritized lyrical clarity and melodic accessibility, cementing his legacy as a key figure in 1960s American pop music.
