The Better to Dream of You
Embracing Dreams: Love's Redemption in 'The Better to Dream of You'
Lyrics
Every heart has got a story
Every heart has a unique story.
About love holding out a lure
Love often tempts with its appeal.
Baby, when you've been that lonely
Loneliness can make one crave a remedy.
You just want a cure
Seeking a solution when feeling alone.
Fool you once, you are forgiven
Forgiveness may follow the first deception.
Fool you twice, you're just a fool
Repeated foolishness marks one as a fool.
You fear the future's all been written
Anxiety about a predetermined future based on past experiences.
By the past and what didn't last
Reflection on the past and what couldn't endure.
All the better to dream of you
Dreaming of you is an improvement.
The better to be this side of heaven
Optimism for a positive afterlife.
Believing again when a dream comes true
Regaining faith when dreams materialize.
The better to dream of you
Enhancing life by dreaming of you.
Every story's got a chapter
Every life has defining moments.
That chapter will be defined
A life's chapter is shaped by past and future events.
By what's before and what comes after
The present chapter is uniquely mine.
This one is mine
Acknowledging what precedes and follows this moment.
Everything that came before us
Past experiences exhausted and burdened.
Wore me out and weighed me down
Your influence lifted me like a choir's harmony.
You raised me up like a gospel chorus
Stable and secure, like standing on solid ground.
Rock steady on solid ground
Acknowledging the positive impact of your presence.
The better to dream of you
Dreaming of you is an improvement.
The better to be this side of heaven
Optimism for a positive afterlife.
Believing again when some dreams come true
Believing in dreams when they come true.
The better to dream of you
Enhancing life by dreaming of you.
Like an old-time tent revival
A revival, reminiscent of old-time tent gatherings.
I felt my heart come back alive
A renewed sense of vitality and emotion.
No preacher, baby, no Bible
No religious influence, just the power of love to testify.
Just this love to testify
Expressing love as the ultimate testament.
Oh, the better to dream of you
Dreaming of you is an improvement.
The better to be this side of heaven
Optimism for a positive afterlife.
Believing again some dreams come true
Believing in dreams when they come true.
The better to dream of you
Enhancing life by dreaming of you.
The better to dream of you
Continued improvement through dreaming of you.
Yeah, stranger things they might have happened
Acknowledging the possibility of unusual occurrences.
Believing again that dreams come true
Rekindling belief in the realization of dreams.
The better to dream of you
Enhancing life by dreaming of you.
The better to dream of you
Dreaming of you is an improvement.
The better to be this side of heaven
Optimism for a positive afterlife.
Believing again some dreams come true
Believing in dreams when they come true.
The better to dream of you
Enhancing life by dreaming of you.
