The Dream - Lori McKenna

I had a dream last night that the two of you met

You were sitting side by side, talking like old friends

You looked just like I remember, wearing that coat from 85

You were smiling like you are right now, all free and full of wild

I had a dream last night that the two of you met

He was telling you a story, I’m not sure which one it was

Using his hands to mark out something, maybe the size of his love

He never really spelled that out when he was down here on the ground

But it’s all right there, in between the words and I can hear it clearly now

I had a dream last night that the two of you met

Yeah, he was something, he was one of a kind

And you would have loved him if you were born in his time

But he’s somewhere in your eyes

Between Heaven and Earth, it’s a damn long view

I had a dream last night that the two of you met

I was struck by the vision, the kind of dream you dream to dream

And whatever you two talked about, that’s between you and him, not me

I hope he told you what’s important, what to let go and what to hold

And if he mentioned life is short, well, that’s because he knows

I had a dream last night that the two of you met

Yeah, he was something, he was one of a kind

You would have loved him if you were born in his time

But he’s somewhere in your eyes

Between Heaven and Earth, it’s a damn long, damn long view

Damn long view

I had a dream last night that the two of you met

You were sitting side by side talking like old friends
