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 futures 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
