Music & lyrics: john popper



How can i stay awake when i know that my dreams will be of you

These moments i spend with you in my slumber are much too few

There are those who say that i spend too much time with my mind in an unconscious state

But how can there be harm in your arms in the dreams i create



What is right, what is wrong

What is poetry and what is song

Why can't i be left where i belong

Oh, to dream on, oh to dream on

Oh, what's sincere

What is fake

Why do they fear for my own sake

What magic rule will i break

Oh, to dream on, oh, to dream on



It's not a crime, too sublime to imagine a better life than this

One thought of you and i can't resist

I don't want to stay in a gray world that is so corrupt

Sometimes i pray, and i pray that i'll never wake up



What is right, what is wrong

What is poetry and what is song

Why can't i be left where i belong

Oh, to dream on, oh to dream on

Oh, what's sincere

What is fake

Why do they fear for my own sake

What magic rule will i break

Oh, to dream on, oh, to dream on



Oh, you know that i want you, so please let me sleep

In my dreams i will see you, in my dreams we will meet

In my sleep, love is easy, you know how i care

But i wake in the morning i and find you're not there

Come back to the living is what my friends say

One thought of you washes all of the words away

And i tell them

And i tell them

Why don't you just let me dream on

Dream on

Dream on
