Ocean of Thoughts and Dreams
The Dramatics Lyrics
When I'm by myself sometimes,
A million thoughts run cross my mind,
When I try to do without you,
All I do is dream about you,
And my mind,
Just drifts away (hey, hey)
Right into the ocean of thoughts,
And dreams
I go by the sea at night,
To watch the moon reflect the night,
(To watch the moon reflect the night)
I see your face in every tide,
This emptiness I cannot hide,
And my mind,
Just drifts away (hey, hey)
Right into the ocean of thoughts,
And dreams,
Oh, I want to dream on,
Dream on,
Drifting right on away,
Like dust upon a pretty rose,
It hides the beauty of my love,
My love is here but then you're there,
Why did our love had to pass,
Oh, my mind (mind)
Just drifts (drift)
Away (away)
Drifting all away girl
Right into the Ocean of Thoughts and Dreams,
Oh my mind keeps on drifting,
Oh it keeps on drifting away,
And know I do is keep dreaming of you,
And know,
I'm down by the ocean,
And I see your face in every tide,
I keep hoping and hoping,
Oh I wish you,
I wish we can do it again

Loving this song. Been playing it like it’s brand new. So mellow, it just touches my heart.

And my mind just drifts away back to the 70's when music was so sweet so beautiful and had meaning. I am grateful to have come up in an era with The Dramatics and other dynamic groups. My thoughts and my dreams are about so so many good good times. Gone but never forgotten. Ron, Lenny, Willie and all The Dramatics gave us such beautiful music. RIP guys because when you were with us you gave us your all. A timeless treasure.

@Greg Nelson Detroit, Philadelphia, and Ohio killed it for 30 years. It's incredible how those regions popped off one after another.
