Beautiful Nightmare

Beyonce · Other Songs - Beyonce

Every night I rush to my bed

with hopes that maybe I'll get a chance to see you

When I close my eyes

I'm goin outta my head

Lost in a fairytale

Can you hold my hands and be my guide



Clouds filled with stars cover your skies

and I hope it rains

You're the perfect lullaby

What kinda dream is this?



You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare

Either way I don't wanna wake up from you

Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare

Somebody pinch me, your love's too good to be true

My guilty pleasure I ain't goin no where

Baby long as you're here

I'll be floatin on air cause you're my

You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare

Either way I, don't wanna wake up from you



I mention you when I say my prayers

I wrap you around all of my thoughts

Boy you my temporary high

I wish that when I wake up you're there

So wrap your arms around me for real

and tell me you'll stay by side



Clouds filled with stars cover the skies

and I hope it rains

You're the perfect lullaby

What kinda dream is this?



You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare

Either way I, don't wanna wake up from you

Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare

Somebody pinch me, your love's too good to be true

My guilty pleasure I ain't goin no where

Baby long as you're here

I'll be floatin on air cause you're my

You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare

Either way I, don't wanna wake up from you



Tattoo your name across my heart

So it will remain

Not even death could make us part

What kind of dream is this?



You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare

Either way I, don't wanna wake up from you

Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare

Somebody pinch me, your love's too good to be true



You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
