the better to dream of you

every heart has got a story

about love holding out a lure

baby

when you've been that lonely

you just want a cure

fool you once

you are forgiven

fool you twice

you're just a fool

you fear the futures all been written

by the past

and what didn't last

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

this one is mine

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

no preacher baby

no bible

just this love to testify

oh

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

yeah

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
