From the recording The Waiting Game
Country - This one popped into my head almost complete. I only changed a few words in the second verse and voila a song was born. Bill recorded it 1999 on his Raise a Ruckus album. As far as instruments go Dream World is one of the simpler tracks with Rich Brotherton on acoustic guitar and bass and Bill on acoustic guitar. Note: CD liner notes mistakenly say Bill played electric.
Lyrics
DREAM WORLD
Louise Kirchen
WHEN I WOKE UP IN MY DREAM WORLD
IT WAS JUST LIKE WALKING ON AIR
ALL AT ONCE I KNEW IN A HEARTBEAT
ALL THE LOVE I NEEDED WAS THERE
IT WAS JUST THE SAME OLD ME LOVING THE SAME OLD YOU
BUT EVERYTHING HAD CHANGED AND IT ALL SEEMED BRAND NEW
NOW I’M NO LONGER WAITING FOR REAL LOVE TO BEGIN
AND I WOULDN’T TRADE A DREAM WORLD FOR THE ONE WE’RE LIVING IN
NOW I KNOW THAT YOUR LOVE IS ONLY
MINE ALONE AND MY LOVE FOR YOU
KNOWS NO BOUNDS, I’LL NEVER BE LONELY
SINCE I’VE FOUND MY DREAM WORLD WITH YOU
IT’S STILL THE SAME OLD ME LOVING THE SAME OLD YOU
BUT SOMETHING HAS CHANGED TO MAKE MY HEART BREAK THROUGH
AND I’M NO LONGER WAITING FOR REAL LOVE TO BEGIN
AND I WOULDN’T TRADE A DREAM WORLD FOR THE ONE WE’RE LIVING IN
IT’S STILL THE SAME OLD ME LOVING THE SAME OLD YOU
BUT SOMETHING HAS CHANGED TO MAKE MY HEART BREAK THROUGH
AND I’M NO LONGER WAITING FOR REAL LOVE TO BEGIN
AND I WOULDN’T TRADE A DREAM WORLD FOR THE ONE WE’RE LIVING IN
NO I WOULDN’T TRADE A DREAM WORLD FOR THE ONE WE’RE LIVING IN
