I Wanna Live in My Dreams
Francis Lung Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wanna live in my dreams
Where I'll never sleep
Spend every day in a memory I wanna keep

Every night under every shooting star I've known
Nothing to wish for, staring up alone

There is nothing here I want
And nowhere I wanna be
More than the one place
No one else can see

Where I can fly, I don't know why I seem to try
Always to be so far away from ground
Round and round, circling 'til I find something's new
Some place that doesn't remind me of you

This nightmare I call home
Won't be for long
This world will one day wake up
And I'll be gone
Who will make my dreams come true?

I wanna love in my dreams
Where love never sleeps
I wanna sleep with the girl of my dreams

Every night under every shooting star I've known
Nothing to wish for, staring up alone
We'd be richer than love by light shining above
Pouring out from the Heaven we made up

And there is no Heaven like the one you make up




And there is no love like the love in dreams
In dreams
