The Better to Dream of You

[Verse 1]
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 future's all been written
By the past and what didn't last

[Chorus]
Oh, 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

[Verse 2]
Every story's got a chapter
And 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

[Chorus]
Oh, 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

[Bridge]
Like an old time tent revival
I felt my heart come back alive
No preacher, baby, no Bible
Just this love to testify

[Chorus]
Oh, 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

Oh, 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

Oh, 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
