Song of the Day #806: ‘Sweet Dreams’ – Beyoncé

I have an unwritten rule for this blog that Beyoncé should make an appearance every couple of months or so. Today’s post marks the fifth appearance this year by Ms. Knowles, which frankly seems a little low.

My mission is complicated by the fact that I don’t actually own any of Beyoncé’s albums and I’m not a big fan of most of her songs. And I’m not looking to embarrass myself (any more than I already have) by gushing about her appeal in areas unrelated to music.

So I will simply present today’s song without specific comment, except to say that only Beyoncé can manage to stay this sexy while dressed like C-3PO.

Turn the lights on

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 fairytale, can you hold my hands and be my guide?

Clouds filled with stars cover the skies
And I hope it rains, you’re the perfect lullaby
What kinda dream is this?

You could 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 no where
Baby long as you’re here I’ll be floating on air
‘Cause you’re my

You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I don’t wanna wake up from you
(Turn the lights on)

I mention you when I say my prayers
I wrap you around all of my thoughts
Boy you’re 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 side

Clouds filled with stars cover the skies
And I hope it rains, you’re the perfect lullaby
What kinda dream is this?

You could 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 no where
Baby long as you’re here I’ll be floating on air
‘Cause you’re my

You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I don’t wanna wake up from you
(Turn the lights on)

Tattoo your name across my heart so it will remain
Not even death can make us part
What kind of dream is this?

You could 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 no where
Baby long as you’re here I’ll be floating on air
‘Cause you’re my

You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I don’t wanna wake up from you
(Turn the lights on)
Either way I don’t wanna wake up from you

    I’m sure Beyonce is thrilled beyond measure to have your support 😉

  2. Dana says:

    And why exactly do you have this rule? Can you not work out your obsession with Beyonce’s body elsewhere and keep this blog about the SONG of the day? How about this — post a really good song by a great artist and add a picture of Beyonce somewhere in the commentary?

    There are many reasons to listen to a song, or watch a video, and I feel the blog should reflect that. 🙂
