You Set My Dreams To Music
Dusty Springfield · Something Special [1998]
Each time you smile at me
I love the look of what you're thinking
I'm glowing like the sky that's on fire
As the sun is sinking
Oh, you set my dreams to music
As you spend the whole night making them come true
And in my whole life
I have never had a dream as sweet as you
No one else I ever knew
Touch me quite like you
Or say as much
Without a word now
Love, I'm hoping you can see
A song's inside of me
That holds more love
Than any song you've heard, now
Oh, you set my dreams to music
As you spend the whole night making them come true
And in my whole life
I have never had a dream as sweet as you
I know how it feels to fly
I'm glowing like the sky that's on fire
As the sun is sinking
Oh, you set my dreams to music
As you spend the whole night making them come true
And in my whole life
I have never had a dream as sweet as you
And in my whole life
I have never had a dream as sweet as you
You set my dreams to music
Music, you set my dreams to
Sweet, sweet music
You set my dreams to music
Music, you set my dreams to
Sweet, sweet music
You set my dreams to music
Music, you set my dreams to
Sweet, sweet music
You set my dreams to music
