Dream World
Greg Brown adapted by Don Johnson November 11, 2009
I’m livin’ in a dream world dreamin’ dreams of you
I’m living a dream world don’t know what I’m gonna do
Gonna lock my door, change my clothes hideaway where nobody knows
I’m livin in a dream world dreamin’ you’re comin’ home
And this is where I’ll be sittin’ here all alone
I’m livin in a twilight world without you next to me
It’s a lonely, one glass world can’t stand bein’ me
I see your face and smell your hair hear your voice in the midnight air
I’m livin’ in a dream world dreamin’ your holding me tight
And this where I’ll be for the rest of the night
Without your arms ‘round me I’m nothing at all
Starrin’ into space, wanderin’ down the hall
I’m livin’ in a dream world lost in dreams of you
You’re out there somewhere like a spirit in the sky
Throw me down some stardust maybe I’ll know why
I’m livin’ in a dream world dreamin’ the pain away
And this is where I’ll be until the light of day
Dream World Dream World
Lying Next to Me
Don Johnson/Blue River Music April 2, 2000
It started soft and easy like a breeze in the night
Blowing little secrets falling over me
Another silly fantasy that will never be
And now you’re here lying next to me
Did you hear my thoughts as you sat across the room?
They rolled around in my mind like thunder in the sky
Sapphire eyes and silver rings looking back at me
And now you’re here lying next to me
And now you’re here lying next to me
Anticipation flooded me when we rode up the drive
Shadows in the candlelight, washed against my skin
Paint me with your fever, give me everything
long as you are lying next to
long as you are lying next to me
long as you are lying next to me
long as you are lying next to me
Child of Love
Johnson Juliano Blue River Music 2000
Gypsy eyes look through me
Swirling skirt and dancing feet
You’re a child of love, dancing on the wind
Write me stories late at night,
Magic cats in red moonlight
You’re a child of love, dancing on the wind
Tell me ‘bout your fantasy
Tell me what makes you free
You’re like a ray of sun
Shining on my face
You’re a child of love
Unicorn smiling at me
Evil dragons breathing heat
You’re a child of love, dancing on the wind
Sing me songs, make me cry
Tell me riddles, ask me why
You’re a child of love, dancing on the wind
Tell me ‘bout your fantasy
Tell me what makes you free
Gypsy eyes look through me
Show me things I can’t see
You’re a child of love
You’re a child of love
Big Phat Love
Don Johnson Blue River Music August 2004
Feelin’ worn and weary on that winter day
Tampa to New York trying to find my way
Through the maze of dead ends and slippin’ through the ache
Another night, another date, another chance to take
Cold as hell in Soho on that Sunday afternoon
All I felt was you when you walked into the room
We talked like friends of many years and the hours rolled on by
Pushed away the empty plates but the hunger lingered on
Big Phat love shining down
Big Phat love all around
Stood with you on the corner of Prince and Broadway
Felt some kind of pull as I started to walk away
Kissed on your sweet lips and I looked into your eyes
Said I have to see you again before we say goodbye
Big Phat love shining down
Big Phat love all around
I’ll hold in my arms I’ll never let you go
I’ll whisper soft sweet things that you ought to know
Don’t want much of anything ‘cept for your love
It’s just you and me and the sun above
Big Phat love shining down
Big Phat love all around
