A Dream
Michael Peters & Fabio Anile Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The sands are cold the moon is full
I see my lady in the sky
And when she comes I'll give her love
And as I sleep I see her eyes
All in a dream for me
All in a good night's sleep
All in a dream for me
All that I want to be
I'm investing in the best things
Father's sleeping in his bed
Unaware I'm sitting there
I can see it in my head
All in a dream for me
All in a good night's sleep
All in a dream for me
All that I want to be
All in a dream for me
All in a good night's sleep
All in a dream for me
All that I want to be
To be




To be
To be
