the better to dream of you
Singer:mary chapin carpenter
every heart has got a story
about love holding out a lure
when you've been that lonely
you fear the futures all been written
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
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
just this love to testify
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
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
