"Thank You For The Dream" lyrics - LAMONT DOZIER

Thank you for, thank you for the dream, baby, babe
Although it didn't last, I wan't to thank you for the sunshine
(Thank you for the sunshine), darling
Although it's come to pass, it's still on my mind

Oh, its raring in my heart
It's in my soul, girl
Yeah, and it'll never go, Naw
It's engraved in my face
It can't be erased
I don't believe ill find another
To take your place, Naw, baby

And honey, when night falls
That's when those old memories decide to call
And the games of the mind, then suddenly I see, baby
You and me holdin' hands (You and me holdin' hands)
Back in the time when I was your man (back in the time when I was your man)
(Back in the time when I was your man)
What a sweet dream (what a sweet dream), Just you and me
I got a sweet dream, baby, of what I wished with you
And in my dream, you don't forsake me and
Don'wan't nobody to wake me
But with the coming of dawn, in the dark, I awake
I awake and the dream is gone
Then the lonliness starts again

Thank you for, thank you for the dream (thank you for the, baby)
Although it didn't last, I want to thank you for
Thank you for the sunshine, darling (thank you for the sunshine, darling, whoo)
Although it's come to pass, it's still on my mind
Hey, its burning in my heart
It's in my soul, girl (Yes, Yes it is)
Yeah, and we'll never grow old, Naw
It's engraved in my face
It can't be erased, Naw, baby
I don't believe ill find another
To take your place

The only time I give, baby, is in my dream with you at night
That's the only time I can face this life
'Cause in my dream, everything's alright
I know it's just fantasy (I know it's just fantasy)
But can't face reality (can't face reality) without you baby, Naw, Naw, Naw, Naw, Naw
Everything is heavenly, 'cause when I'm dreamin'
It's sweet ecstasy
In my dream you never forsake me, And don't want nobody to wake me
But with the coming the dawn, I awake and my dream is gone
Then the loneliness starts again, But, I thank you for it

Thank you for (Thank you for), thank you for the dream, baby (Thank you for the dream)
Although it didn't last, I want to thank you for (Thank you for, Thank your for the sunshine)
Thank you for the sunshine, baby, Whoo
Although it's come to pass, girl, I want to

Thank you for (Thank you for), (Thank you for the dream)
Thank you for the dream, yeah
Although it didn't last, I want to thank you for
Thank you for the sunshine, baby, Whoo
Although it's come to pass, girl
