One Sweet Dream

I can tell by the way you act
This comes as a surprise.
Please don’t say “that is that”
And turn away from my eyes.
I don’t me to offend; I can’t defend sentiments I’ve sealed inside.
Alone with you, what can I do? Please forgive me if I try.
I have one sweet dream
of loving you while you’re holding me,
one sweet dream of love.
I was having a tough, tough time
trying to make my rent.
You wanted to share some space.
Were you heaven sent?
I had never lived with a roommate, but I thought I’d give it a try.
First it was rough, later OK, today I have to say
I have one sweet dream
of loving you while you’re holding me,
one sweet dream of love,
one sweet dream of loving you as you’re holding me
one sweet dream of love
Beautiful dreamer, when will you dream of me?
Beautiful dreamer, wake up and you will see
the beauty that can be when dreams come true.
If I try will you keep me at bay
and say this is not right?
You dream while I toss and I turn
so far yet near in the night.
I want affection, a friendly connection; please tell me that it can be.
I don’t mean to bruise or abuse you – all I want is you to see
we share one sweet dream:
I’m loving you while you’re holding me,
one sweet dream of love,
one sweet dream: I’m loving you and you’re holding me,
one sweet dream of love.
