Sweet Dreams - Beyoncé

Album: I Am... Sasha Fierce

genre: Dance-Pop Pop R&B / Soul

Every night I rush to my bed
With hopes that maybe I’ll get a chance to see you
When I close my eyes I’m going out of my head
Lost in a fairytale, can you hold my hands and be my guide?

Clouds filled with stars cover your skies
And I hope it rains; you’re the perfect lullaby
What kind of dream is this?

You could be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I don’t wanna wake up from you
(Turn the lights on)

Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Somebody pinch me, your love’s too good to be true
(Turn the lights on)

My guilty pleasure, I ain’t going nowhere
Baby ‘long as you’re here, I’ll be floating on air
Cause you’re mine

You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I don’t wanna wake up from you
(Turn the lights on)

I mention you when I say my prayers
I wrap you around all of my thoughts
Boy you’re my temporary high

I wish that when I wake up you’re there
To wrap your arms around me for real
And tell me you’ll stay by side

Clouds filled with stars cover your skies
And I hope it rains; you’re the perfect lullaby
What kind of dream is this?

You could be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I don’t wanna wake up from you
(Turn the lights on)

Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Somebody pinch me, your love’s too good to be true
(Turn the lights on)

My guilty pleasure, I ain’t going nowhere
Baby ‘long as you’re here, I’ll be floating on air
Cause you’re mine

You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I don’t wanna wake up from you
(Turn the lights on)

Tattoo your name across my heart
So it will remain
Not even death could make us part
What kind of dream is this?

You could be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I don’t wanna wake up from you
(Turn the lights on)

Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Somebody pinch me, your love’s too good to be true
(Turn the lights on)

My guilty pleasure, I ain’t going nowhere
Baby ‘long as you’re here, I’ll be floating on air
Cause you’re mine

You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I don’t wanna wake up from you
(Turn the lights on)
Either way I don’t wanna wake up from you
