Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Beyoncé began performing in local competitions at age 7, eventually forming the group Girl's Tyme in 1990 with help from her parents. Girl's Tyme became Destiny's Child in 1997.
During the hiatus of Destiny's Child in 2003, Beyoncé released her debut solo album, Dangerously in Love, which became one of the most successful albums of that year, and signaled her viability as a solo artist. The disbanding of Destiny's Child in 2005 facilitated her continued success: her sophomore solo album B'Day, released in 2006, debuted at number one on the Billboard charts. Her third solo album, I Am… Sasha Fierce, was released in November 2008, and in 2009 she received 10 Grammy Awards nominations. On January 31, 2010, she won 6 Grammy Awards, breaking the record for most Grammy awards won by a female artist in one night; she previously held the record of five awards with 5 other artists. Following a career hiatus, Beyoncé released her fourth studio album entitled "4" on June 24, 2011, which debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200.

It became the best-rated album of 2022, named the best album of the year by publications such as the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, NPR, Pitchfork, and Rolling Stone, which would later place the record at number 71 on their 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list. It then was nominated for Album of The Year at the 65 Annual Grammy Award Show and won Best Dance/Electronic Album.

Sweet Dreams Medley
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
I love you
I love you
I love
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
I'll never go, wait and see, can't be wrong
Don't you know this is where you belong? Oh
So sweet
So sweet
So sweet oh, oh, love
(Sweet love) oh no, no, no
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no no, no

Just leave me sweetly, baby
Just leave me sweetly, baby
Hey
Don't nobody know
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

Turn the lights on
I want to fully experience and appreciate the moment with you, so let's make sure the lights are on

Baby, 'long as you're here, I'll be floating on air 'cause you're my
Being with you brings me such joy and happiness that I feel like I'm floating on air
I mention you when I say my prayers
You are always on my mind and in my heart, even when I am praying
I wrap you around all of my thoughts
I can't help but think of you constantly and imagine you in all aspects of my life
Boy, you're my temporary high
My love for you brings such intense and temporary pleasure that it is like a high
I wish that when I wake up you're there
I deeply desire to have you by my side and wake up to you each morning
To wrap your arms around me for real
I long for the experience of being held by you in reality, not just in my dreams
And tell me you'll stay by my side
Knowing that you will be there for me and our love will last means everything to me
Tattoo your name across my heart
I want to permanently keep the memory and feeling of our love close to my heart
So it will remain
So that my love for you will never fade or be lost
Not even death can make us part
My love for you is so strong that not even death can separate us

Thando Reviews
Beyoncé once said “I love singing because I love how it feels.” Just imagine that with all she does with her voice. She does it because she likes how it feels. 🙌🏿🙌🏿👌🏿
Emma Marshall
Thando Joka same here, but it doesn’t feel too good on my ears when I do it...😫😂
Thando Reviews
@Emma Marshall true. I was also thinking about a non-physical sense of feeling you feel. Lol and I see what you mean, but I can’t sing but I like singing privately when I am working out or in the shower. look, it don’t even sound good when I record myself .. so I don’t do that, I just sing cause its a great release for me.
milkytaro༄
the feeling of singing imo is the closest we got to heaven imo
JHAY ROZAY
And I feel the same way when I sang as well she wasn’t wrong🥺
Shady Tyrell
Didn’t blue Ivy say that too
Vladimir Vučković
I've been listening to this medley since it came out. It is 2023 now, it still provokes the same emotion. How powerful it really is!
