The Better to Dream of You

[Verse 1]

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 future's all been written

By the past and what didn't last

[Chorus]

Oh, 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

[Verse 2]

Every story's got a chapter

And 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

[Chorus]

Oh, 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

[Bridge]

Like an old time tent revival

I felt my heart come back alive

No preacher, baby, no Bible

Just this love to testify

[Chorus]

Oh, 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

Oh, 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

Oh, 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
