In My Dreams

There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

What an amazing singing voice the late David Cassidy had and such perfect feel-good, happy, upbeat, memorable songs The Partridge Family produced.

I wrote this "In My Dreams" lyric in what I feel the style and vein of that somewhat forgotten "Partridge Family" age of songwriting and singing--songs and performances that I still enjoy to this day, and look to capture, from time to time, in lyrics of my own like this one.

Lyrics

V:
I think I'm onto something
I think I've got it right
Knocked me in my head
Every minute last night

V:
Saw you there with me
What a sight to see
'Cause never till now I saw
How happy I could be

Ch:
Seeing you in my dreams
Is always fast and true
Nothing more to ask now
Except to be with you...forever

But forever's such a long time
That's why I hesitate
Still something else on my mind
I just can't concentrate

V:
That's the way now
Things do seem to go
When you're saying lines
In a dream-time picture show

V:
Maybe I'll wake up soon
Maybe I'm not asleep
Calling out to you now
Begging at your feet

Ch:
Seeing you in my dreams
Is always fast and true
Nothing more to ask now
Except to be with you...forever

But forever's such a long time
That's why I hesitate
Still something else on my mind
I just can't concentrate

Br:
Sleeping has it's good things
Time to rest your mind
Hoping that in waking
I can tell you in kind, that I love you

Ch:
Seeing you in my dreams
Is always fast and true
Nothing more to ask now
Except to be with you...forever

But forever's such a long time
That's why I hesitate
Still something else on my mind
I just can't concentrate

O:
Because I love you
How I do
Love you

I always liked David Cassidy! This is in line with what you were aiming for I think. It's got vulnerability and honesty and comes across as very sincere. I especially like these lines: Maybe I'll wake up soon/Maybe I'm not asleep.

I like that all important reversal of "Except to be with you...forever" in the very next line "But forever's such a long time." It reminds me of the reversal in "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" by Meat Loaf--only your narrator has realized before they make the commitment.
