"Sweet Dreams" lyrics
"Sweet Dreams"
(Turn the lights on)
Every night I rush to my bed
With hopes that maybe I'll get a chance to see you
When I close my eyes, I'm going out of my head
Lost in a fairytale, can you hold my hands and be my guide?
Clouds filled with stars cover your skies
And I hope it rains; you're the perfect lullaby
What kind of dream is this?
You could be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I, don't wanna wake up from you
(Turn the lights on)
Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Somebody pinch me, your love's too good to be true
(Turn the lights on)
My guilty pleasure, I ain't going nowhere
Baby, 'long as you're here, I'll be floating on air
'Cause you're mine
You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I, don't wanna wake up from you
(Turn the lights on)
I mention you when I say my prayers
I wrap you around all of my thoughts
Boy, you're my temporary high
I wish that when I wake up you're there
To wrap your arms around me for real
And tell me you'll stay by my side
Clouds filled with stars cover the skies (Cover the skies)
And I hope it rains; you're the perfect lullaby
What kind of dream is this?
You could be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I, don't wanna wake up from you
(Turn the lights on)
Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Somebody pinch me, your love's too good to be true
(Turn the lights on)
My guilty pleasure, I ain't going nowhere
Baby, 'long as you're here, I'll be floating on air
'Cause you're mine
You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I, don't wanna wake up from you
(Turn the lights on)
Tattoo your name across my heart
So it will remain
Not even death could make us part
What kind of dream is this?
You could be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I, don't wanna wake up from you
(Turn the lights on)
Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Somebody pinch me, your love's too good to be true
(Turn the lights on)
My guilty pleasure, I ain't going nowhere
Baby, 'long as you're here, I'll be floating on air
'Cause you're mine
You can be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I, don't wanna wake up from you
(Turn the lights on)
Either way I, don't wanna wake up from you

"Sweet Dreams" was originally titled "Beautiful Nightmare", but when the song leaked online in March 2008, it already had its current title.
Rico Love, one of the co-writers of this track, told MTV News about working on this song with Beyoncé, "That was the experience of a lifetime working with one of the greatest vocalists of all time. She came in and cut the song in a hour."
When Beyoncé selected "Sweet Dreams" to be a summer single in June 2009, she wanted to release not only an uptempo song that would keep people dancing: she explained, "It's very rare to find an uptempo song that means something ... that's not just about going to a club or partying or being a sexy girl."
Many music critics opined that some of this song's components remind the songs on Michael Jackson's 1982 album "Thriller", e.g. Nick Levine of Digital Spy noted that the electronic bassline is similar to those used in his songs "Thriller" and "Bad".
Beyoncé wears the gold robot suit in the
music video for this song. The suit was designed by French fashion designer Thierry Mugler.
"Sweet Dreams" was certified platinum in Australia, New Zealand and the US.
