โ Beyoncรฉ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every night I rush to my bed
With hopes that maybe I'll get a chance to see you when I close my eyes
I'm going out of my head
Lost in a fairytale; can you hold my hands and be my guide
Clouds filled with stars cover your skies
You're the perfect lullaby
What kinda dream is this?
You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I don't wanna wake up from you (turn the lights on)
Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Somebody, pinch me--your love's too good to be true (turn the lights on)
My guilty pleasure--I ain't going nowhere
Baby, 'long as you're here, I'll be floating on air 'cause you're my
You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I don't wanna wake up from you (turn the lights on)
I mention you when I say my prayers
I wrap you around all of my thoughts
Boy, you're my temporary high
I wish that when I wake up you're there
To wrap your arms around me for real
And tell me you'll stay by my side
Clouds filled with stars cover the skies
And I hope it rains; you're the perfect lullaby
What kinda dream is this?
You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I don't wanna wake up from you (turn the lights on)
Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Somebody, pinch me--your love's too good to be true (turn the lights on)
My guilty pleasure--I ain't going nowhere
Baby, 'long as you're here, I'll be floating on air 'cause you're my
You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I don't wanna wake up from you (turn the lights on)
Tattoo your name across my heart
So it will remain
Not even death can make us part
What kind of dream is this?
You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I don't wanna wake up from you (turn the lights on)
Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Somebody, pinch me--your love's too good to be true (turn the lights on)
My guilty pleasure--I ain't going nowhere
Baby, 'long as you're here, I'll be floating on air 'cause you're my
You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I don't wanna wake up from you (turn the lights on)
Either way I don't wanna wake up from you
Beyoncรฉ's "Sweet Dreams" is a song that explores the idea of being lost in a fairytale-like dream world, where the person singing is hopelessly in love with someone. The night time seems to be the only place where the singer can connect with the object of her affection. The song opens with the singer admitting to the fact that every night she eagerly rushes to bed, hoping that she'll get a glimpse of her love interest in her dreams. The first few lines suggest that the singer is crazy for this person, and she's willing to follow them anywhere, even into a dream world.
In the chorus of the song, Beyoncรฉ sings about how this person can be both a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare, but regardless of which it is, she doesn't want to wake up. She's so lost in love with this person that she doesn't want to let go of the feeling she gets when she thinks about them. She compares her love interest to a lullaby, singing, "You're the perfect lullaby/What kinda dream is this?"
In the final verse, Beyoncรฉ sings about her obsession with this person. She would tattoo their name across her heart so that they remain together even beyond death. The song ends with the singer repeating the chorus, a testament to her unyielding love for the person in question.

My wife is 8 months pregnant and as she was driving today, she got involved in a terrible head collision accident. Her car was pushed away 15 metres away while she was inside. I thank God she survived and the baby is okay. God is great.
