Turn On A Dream
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We're too far away from each other
We got to get together
Because all I want to do is think about you
Don't you know there's no other?
Just turn on a dream, girl
Thats all I wanna do is dream, girl
Just think about you and me, yeah, and how it could be
Why can't you see?
What can I do?
You won't let me show you.
Don't you know that I know you?
When I'm down and my daytime's blue, I get by thinking of you
Just turn on a dream, girl
Thats all I wanna do is dream, girl
Just think about you and me, yeah, and how it could be
Why can't you see?
I close my eyes I can see
I can feel that it's real
I can turn out the sad, turn on the glad
Shifting sand like an hourglass,
Waiting for the time to pass
But I'll keep waiting like I always do,
Dreaming sunny dreams of you
Just turn on a dream, girl
Thats all I wanna do is dream, girl
Just think about you and me, yeah, and how it could be
Why can't you see?
Yeah
