Dream On Lyrics - Blues Traveler

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
