Sweet Dreams
Beyoncé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is actually an uptempo song off my new record "I Am"
I love the lyrics so much
I actually wanted to do an acoustic version for you guys
It talks about relationships being so wonderful
Almost too good to be true
You don't know if this is a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
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 the skies
And I hope it rains
You're the perfect lullaby
You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I don't wanna wake up from you (you can be a sweet dream)
Or a beautiful nightmare
Somebody, pinch me, your love's too good to be true
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
Wanna wake up from you, you
Tattoo your name across my heart
Tattoo your name across my heart
Not even death can make us part
Not even death can make us part
Tattoo your name across my heart
Tattoo your name across my heart (oh)
Not even death can make us part
What kind of dream is this?
I love you
I love you, I love you
Baby, I love you, you are my life
My happiest moments weren't complete if you weren't by my side (you weren't by my side)
You're my relation in connection to the sun (connection to the sun)
With you next to me there's no darkness I can't overcome (I can't overcome)
You are my raindrops, I am the seed (I am the seed)
With you and God who's the sunlight I bloom and grow so beautifully (grow so beautifully)
Baby, I'm so proud, proud to be your girl (proud to be your girl)
You make the confusion go all away from this cold and mixed-up world
I am in love with you (I'm in love)
You set me free
I can't do this thing called life without you here with me
'Cause I'm dangerously in love with you (dangerously in love)
I'll never leave
Just, just keep lovin' me the way I love you lovin' me, yeah
Every time I see your face my heart smiles
Every time it feels so good it hurts sometimes
Created in this world to love, to hold
To feel, to breathe, to live you
Dangerously in love, yeah (I'm in love)
I can't do this thing
Called life without you here with me (can't do this thing without here with me)
'Cause I'm dangerously in love (holdin' me)
In love (kissin' me, lovin' me)
Keep lovin' me the way I love you lovin' me
Dangerously
Dangerously
I love you
I love you

I love, love, love
With all my heart, I love you baby
Stay with me and you will see my arms will hold you, baby
Never leave, 'cause I believe in this in love
Sweet love, hear me callin' out your name
I feel no shame, I'm in love
Sweet love, don't you ever go away
It will always be this way
There's no stronger love in this world (ooh)
Oh, baby, no
You're my man, I'm your girl

Don't you know this is where you belong? Oh

Ooh, ooh
Ooh I am in love with you (I'm in love)
You set me free
I can't do this thing called life without you dangerously in love

Every night I rush to my bed
I eagerly anticipate the chance to see you, hoping to do so soon
With hopes that maybe I'll get a chance to see you
I have a small hope that I'll see you, but it's worth pursuing
When I close my eyes, I'm going out of my head
When I fall asleep, I feel like i'm in a dream
Lost in a fairytale, can you hold my hands and be my guide?
I'm in a fantastical state, and looking for somebody to guide me
Clouds filled with stars cover the skies
The sky is so bright it's hard to even see the clouds anymore
And I hope it rains
I want to experience more beautiful and positive things
You're the perfect lullaby
You're soothing to me, like a perfect tune to sing me to sleep
You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
You can be both something beautiful and poisonous, but I don't want to let go of you

@StopAddingDumbSh.tToYoutube
Yeah, the production team and the people who wrote the song for her must've worked really hard to pull this off - but I'm sure the choreography isn't that easy either. I absolutely couldn't be bothered sitting in a chair for hours on end while people put makeup on me. Definitely couldn't dance like her though.
