Always in My Dreams - Joan Armatrading

I visualized your face, I saw the perfect future

Those Freudian dreams, how they captured my desire

I dreamt of you ten times a night

And every image brought you closer

And in my dreams you never left

We made a promise to be together

Now this is real

No counterfeits

You are not my imaginary friend

You are not just a voice inside my head

We’ve crossed the border

Between truth and dreams

I gave my dream your name and the story my dream told

Was as vivid and as real as you standing here

Dreams really do come true

And you’re always in my dreams

If I lost you I’d lose my taste for living

I’d be angry, temperamental, emotional

I’d cry the desperate cry for love

I’d say this was no supposed to happen

But in my dreams we shared a road

We chose to live our life with passion

This might sound strange

But I believe

The heart gives purpose to your life

The head gives way to the heart

Let’s live the life

We dare to dream

I gave my dream your name

And the story my dream told

Was as vivid and as real

As you standing here

Dreams really do come true

And you’re always in my dreams
