You Make My Dreams

Daryl Hall · Other Songs - Daryl Hall

What I want, you've got

And it might be hard to handle

But like the flame that burns the candle

The candle feeds the flame



What I've got's full stock of thoughts and dreams that scatter

You pull them all together

And how, I can't explain

But You make my dreams come true



On a night when bad dreams become a screamer

When they're messin' with the dreamer

I can laugh it in the face

Twist and shout my way out



And wrap yourself around me

'Cause I ain't the way that you found me

I'll never be the same

'Cause You may my dreams come true



I'm down on the daydream

That sleepwalk should be over by now

I know that You make my dreams come true"
