Got my mind on my sweet dream
Trying to hold onto that one thing
It’s forever in my head
I see it when I’m in bed

It’s always just out of reach and always has been
Like a sweet dangling peach swinging from the highest limb
I close my eyes to see her standing there in blue
I can’t touch her, but I can hear a word or two

I see the warm summer smile upon her face
She says my name, and I know I’ve found the place
Her words are scattered, but her voice is soft and clear
Now, I’m back in my sweet dream again
She always leads me here

I lost her love a long time ago
I still find it, but it’s a one-man show
She’s with me every night when I turn out the lights
She leads me to my sweet dream, where her vision comes alive to me
She whispers she’ll always love me, but I know it’s not to be
Got my mind on my sweet dream
Trying to hold onto that one thing
It’s forever in my head
I see it when I’m asleep in bed
I was a fool when I broke the rules so many years ago
I was young, and when the day was done, I should have let her know
She was the one to walk beside me until my legs couldn’t walk anymore
I couldn’t fix the damage done, but I knew I wanted more

I last saw her at her kitchen door as I stood crying in the rain
I lost her forever when she closed that door, and that's been a heartfelt pain
So, when my day is done, I've got my sweet dream on my mind
Please take me back to that street scene, take me back in time

Seeing her vision every night when I close my eyes
Whispering in my ear and telling me lies
I want to hear those lies because I know the truth
I’ve loved her since we were youths

She flows behind my eyes and dances in my mind
When I close my eyes, she’s never hard to find
I hear her voice, and things are what they seem
So vivid in my mind, so crisp and clean
She led me to my sweet dream again
She’ll lead me to my sweet dream until the very end

Got my mind on my sweet dream
Trying to hold onto that one thing
She’s lost forever, but still lives in my head
I see her every night when I dream in my bed
