Beyoncé – Sweet Dreams Lyrics

Album on I Am… Sasha Fierce

[Intro]
Turn the lights on

[Verse 1]
Every night, I rush to my bed
With hopes that maybe I’ll get a chance
To see you when I close my eyes
I’m going out of my head
Lost in a fairy tale
Can you hold my hands and be my guide?

[Pre-Chorus]
Clouds filled with stars cover your skies
And I hope it rains
You’re the perfect lullaby
What kind of dream is this?

[Chorus]
You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way, I don’t wanna wake up from you (Turn the lights on)
Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Somebody pinch me, your love’s too good to be true (Turn the lights on)
My guilty pleasure, I ain’t going nowhere
Baby, long as you’re here, I’ll be floating on air ’cause you’re mine
You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I don’t wanna wake up from you (Turn the lights on)

[Verse 2]
I mention you when I say my prayers
I wrap you around all of my thoughts
Boy, you my temporary high
I wish that when I wake up, you’re there
To wrap your arms around me for real
And tell me you’ll stay by my side

[Pre-Chorus]
Clouds filled with stars cover the skies (Cover the skies)
And I hope it rains
You’re the perfect lullaby
What kind of dream is this?

[Chorus]
You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way, I don’t wanna wake up from you (Turn the lights on)
Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Somebody pinch me, your love’s too good to be true (Turn the lights on)
My guilty pleasure, I ain’t going nowhere
Baby, long as you’re here, I’ll be floating on air ’cause you’re mine
You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way, I don’t wanna wake up from you (Turn the lights on)

[Bridge]
Tattoo your name across my heart
So it will remain
Not even death could make us part
What kind of dream is this?
[Chorus]
You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way, I don’t wanna wake up from you (Turn the lights on)
Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Somebody pinch me, your love’s too good to be true (Turn the lights on)
My guilty pleasure, I ain’t going nowhere
Baby, long as you’re here, I’ll be floating on air ’cause you’re mine
You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way, I don’t wanna wake up from you (Turn the lights on)

[Outro]
Either way, I don’t wanna wake up from you
