Story behind the song
I dreamt most of this and lived all of it.
Lyrics
JACKIE
Words & Music by Scott Campbell
I dreamt of her again last night; she was so beautiful
I dreamt that she was in love with me, as much as I with her
It must have been all just a dream, for how could I forget,
And had I thought that it once was real, I would die of regret
I dreamt we could be married and live our lives as one
And I would never end that dream with something I had done
And I would never fail her or I would surely die
Or spend my life in dreams of her while living out a lie
I do not care for daytime things, I find no comfort there
I'm only waiting for the night, so I can be with her
I pray that God is merciful, so when my drems are done,
That I can finally dream of her when my life's finally done
I can't go on making pointless noise in story and in song
While I'm waiting for my life to end, and the wait is far too long
I found my final fatal flaw, I can sleep, but never rest;
So if you can chose the one you love, choose the one who loves you best
