Analysis of Last Night I Had A Dream About You
Last night I had a dream about you
It was so sweet about me and you
And even though I only just met you
I know that there’s something very special about you.
Last night I had a dream about you
And one day soon I’ll share it with you
About how the stars were shining brightly too
How the world shifted into place with you
How we came together as one from two
Last night I had a dream about you
When we touched my heart sang melodic tunes to you
When we kissed I melted right into you
You made my body feel things that I never knew
Our souls connected when I became one with you
Then when you held me close after I felt loved by you
Last night I had a dream about you
Its funny how time flies when fun’s what we do
Cause I saw beginning to end me and you
We grew old together just us two
We raised a family together me and you
We made lasting memories each time that were new
Last night I had a dream about you
My hope for a better tomorrow is in you
My knight in shining armor you are too
My sunshine on a rainy day it’s you
And I don’t ever want to be without you
Last night I had a dream about you
And when it was over ALL my dreams had come true
And even as I am awake I dream of things we will do
The things we’ll explore together us two
Last night I had a dream about you
And right now I just hope that I’m you’re dream come true
But if not its okay, that’s cool too
And if that is the case, if that is true
Then this dream will just be a dream from me to you
Last night I had a dream about you.
