“Dreaming” is notorious in Kiss' history. The track brought upon a lawsuit from Alice Cooper’s publishers, stating that the song sounded too much like Cooper’s hit “I’m Eighteen.
[Verse 1]
Close your eyes, and take a look at your life
Do you like what you see?
My eyes are open, but I feel like I'm blind
It's all returning to me
I want to know, does a frozen river flow?
Things you said fill my head
Lying in a cold and empty bed
[Chorus]
I'm only dreamin'
Between the darkness and the light
I'm only dreamin', oooh
Dreamin', can't tell the daylight from the night
I'm only dreamin', dreamin'
[Verse 2]
I feel the sunlight shining down on my face
Not a cloud in my mind
I get my wake up, but it never comes in time
My prayers are spoken, and I wait to receive
Because there's a fine line between the truth and how we want it to be
[Chorus]
I'm only dreamin'
Between the darkness and the light
I'm only dreamin', oooh
Dreamin', can't tell the daylight from the night
I'm only dreamin', dreamin'
[Verse 3]
I'm sailing like a ship on the sea
I don't care if I'm lost in the haze
I hear the angels singing softly to me
Time is the enemy, that you never see
Won't you come and slip away?
[Guitar solo]
I am only dreamin'
I am only dreamin', ooh
I am only dreamin', yeah
I am only dreamin'
I'm only dreamin'
I am only dreamin', ohhh
I am only dreamin', yeah
Only dreamin'
Dreamin'
