Drift Off to Dream

Travis Tritt · Essentials [Warner Bros] [2003]

Drift off to Dream,



As I sit here surrounded, By people and lights

Along with my drink at the bar

You've been here forever, So clear in my mind

I just don't know where you are

But I know I'll find you, But girl till I do

This is my love song for you



Let's hold hands on the porch swing

Under the moon

While the wind through the willows

Plays us a tune

We can lie on a blanket, Out back in the yard

And wish for our future

On a far away star

And you'll feel the passion, As time after time

I press your sweet lips to mine

We can dance to the radio, Right up till dawn

Till you drift off

To dream in my arms



You might be hundreds, Or more miles away

Or you might be just down the street

But there'll be a hunger, Deep in your eyes

That I'll recognize when we meet



It might take hours, Or it might take years

But this is the song you will hear



Let's hold hands on the porch swing

Under the moon

While the wind through the willows

Plays us a tune

We can lie on a blanket, Out back in the yard

And wish for our future

On a far away star

And you'll feel the passion, As time after time

I press your sweet lips to mine

We can dance to the radio, Right up till dawn

Till you drift off

To dream in my arms



And you'll feel the passion

As time after time

I press your sweet lips to mine



We can dance to the radio, Right up till dawn

Till you drift off

To dream in my arms,
