Carpenter Mary Chapin - The Better To Dream Of You lyrics

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 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
