Dreamland
chris and john Lyrics

I caught a ride on the Dreamland Express last night
I had a dream that felt so much like reality, it was as if I was transported to another world.

I was sailing on an ocean of blue
I was surrounded by a vast and serene expanse of blue, like a calm sea.

And right there by my side, much to my surprise, was you
To my delight and wonder, you were unexpectedly there with me, in this dreamland.

I said, come on over baby, let me look in your eyes
I asked you to come closer so I could gaze into your eyes and see your true essence.

Let me see the very heart of you
I wanted to see the deepest part of your being, your true nature and soul.

And I couldn't believe it, or conceive that my dream would come true
I was filled with disbelief and awe that my dream had become a reality and that you were with me.

'Cause you said, hey there sweet daddy, everything is alright
You reassured me that everything was okay, using an affectionate nickname.

You know for miles there's not a telephone line
We were far away from the distractions of the modern world, in a place of solitude and peace.

There's not a soul to disturb us
We were completely alone, without any interruptions or disturbances.

Just come and be mine
You invited me to be with you, to join you in this idyllic world.

You said, let me be the end of your rainbow
You offered to be the goal that I strive for, the bright spot at the end of the tunnel.

Let me be the stars up above
You wanted to be the shining presence in my life, lighting my way through the darkness.

Let me be the one that you long for baby
You desired to be the one I yearned for, the one I deeply wanted and needed in my life.

But now it's four in the mornin', I can't sleep
In the present moment, I find myself awake and restless, unable to find peace and rest.

I can't seem to get you out of my mind
You are constantly on my thoughts and in my heart, and I can't stop thinking about you.

I keep tossin' and turnin', I'm yearnin' for the sun to shine
I am restless and full of longing for a brighter future, one where we can be together and happy.

I'd like to send you a ticket on the Dreamland Express
I wish I could share this dream world with you, that we could experience it together.

And take you far away with me
I want to escape from the present reality, and venture out into a new world with you.

I've got a vision of heaven, you livin' there with me
I have an image in my mind of a perfect, heavenly existence where we can be happy and at peace, together.

Let me be the end of your rainbow
Once again, you offer to be my ultimate goal, the bright spot that I strive towards.

Let me be the stars up above
You want to be the shining presence in my life, lighting the way and providing guidance.

Let me be the one that you long for baby
You still desire to be the one I want and need, the one I yearn for and can't live without.

Let me be the one that you love, oh, oh
Finally, you express your deepest desire, to be the one that I love more than anything else.
