You Make My Dreams Come True Lyrics
Daryl Hall & John Oates
Lyrics
What I want, you've got
And it might be hard to handle
But like the flame that burns the candle
The candle feeds the flame
What I've got's full stock
of thoughts and dreams that scatter
You pull them all together
And how, I can't explain, oh yeah
But you make my dreams come true
Well well well you, you make my dreams come true
On a night when bad dreams become a screamer
When they're messin' with the dreamer
I can laugh it in the face
Twist and shout my way out
And wrape yourself around me
'Cause I ain't the way that you found me
I'll never be the same, oh yeah
'Cause you may my dreams come true
Well well well you, you make my dreams come true
Well listen to this
I'm down on the daydream
That sleepwalk should be over by now
I know that you make my dreams come true
I'm waiting for you, you're making my dreams come true
I'm wating for, waiting for you
You're making my dreams come true
I'm waiting for...
You make my dreams
I've been waiting for you
You make my dreams
