The Better To Dream Of You Lyrics - Carpenter Mary-chapin

Every heart has got a story 

About love holding out a lure 

Baby, when you've been that lonely 

You just want a cure 

Fool you once, you are forgiven 

Fool you twice, you're just a fool 

You fear the futures all been written 

By the past, and what didn't last 

All the better to dream of you 

The better to be this side of heaven 

Believing again when a dream comes true 

The better to dream of you 

Every story's got a chapter 

That chapter will be defined 

By what's before and what comes after 

This one is mine 

Everything that came before us 

Wore me out and weighed me down 

You raised me up like a gospel chorus 

Rock steady on solid ground 

The better to dream of you 

The better to be this side of heaven 

Believing again when some dreams come true 

The better to dream of you 

Like an old time tent revival I felt my heart come back alive 

No preacher baby, no bible, just this love to testify 

Oh, the better to dream of you 

The better to be this side of heaven 

Believing again some dreams come true 

The better to dream of you 

The better to dream of you 

Yeah, stranger things they might have happened 

Believing again that dreams come true 

The better to dream of you 

The better to dream of you 

The better to be this side of heaven 

Believing again some dreams come true 

The better to dream of you
