DREAM WORLD LYRICS
Lisa McDavid | Mark Paul Smith | Danny Jones
VERSE 1
Blue velvet sky soft as Sunday morning
Kissin’ Saturday night goodnight
One star still shines brighter than the dawning
Of a woman who’s seen the light
VERSE 2
I thought I had everything I needed
Until I started needing you
You wanted more than anyone could give you
When all I wanted was you
CHORUS
I’ve been livin’ in a dream world with you
Dream world with you
Now I understand my dream world with you
Could never come true
Could never come true
BRIDGE
Now there’s no need to pretend anymore
That’s for sure
I’m gonna make it on my own
VERSE 1
Blue velvet sky soft as Sunday morning
Kissin’ Saturday night goodnight
One star still shines brighter than the dawning
Of a woman who’s seen the light
CHORUS
I’m a woman who’s seen the light
I’m gonna make it on my own
I’ll build my own dream world without you
ABOUT THE SONG
Lisa McDavid | Mark Paul Smith | Danny Jones
Dream World: A woman understands a dream world with her man could never come true when she sings “you wanted more than anyone could give you.” In the dawn’s early light, she realizes he’s looking for an assistant, not an equal partner. From that epiphany, she moves quickly to, “I’m gonna make it on my own.” The song is an anthem to female empowerment.
