Music & Lyrics: John Popper



How can I stay awake when I know that my dreams will be of you

These moments I spend with you in my slumber are much too few

There are those who say that I spend too much time with my mind in an unconscious state

But how can there be harm in your arms in the dreams I create



What is right, what is wrong

What is poetry and what is song

Why can't I be left where I belong

Oh, to dream on, oh to dream on

Oh, what's sincere

What is fake

Why do they fear for my own sake

What magic rule will I break

Oh, to dream on, oh, to dream on



It's not a crime, too sublime to imagine a better life than this

One thought of you and I can't resist

I don't want to stay in a gray world that is so corrupt

Sometimes I pray, and I pray that I'll never wake up



What is right, what is wrong

What is poetry and what is song

Why can't I be left where I belong

Oh, to dream on, oh to dream on

Oh, what's sincere

What is fake

Why do they fear for my own sake

What magic rule will I break

Oh, to dream on, oh, to dream on



Oh, you know that I want you, so please let me sleep

In my dreams I will see you, in my dreams we will meet

In my sleep, love is easy, you know how I care

But I wake in the morning I and find you're not there

Come back to the living is what my friends say

One thought of you washes all of the words away

And I tell them

And I tell them

Why don't you just let me dream on

Dream on

Dream on
