Sweet dreams - Beyonce

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 the skies
And I hope it rains, you're the perfect lullaby
What kinda 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 no where
Baby long as you're here I'll be floating on air
'Cause you're my

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 side

Clouds filled with stars cover the skies
And I hope it rains, you're the perfect lullaby
What kinda 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 no where
Baby long as you're here I'll be floating on air
'Cause you're my

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 can 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 no where
Baby long as you're here I'll be floating on air
'Cause you're my

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


Chance: casuality
Fairytale: history of fairs
Lullaby: song to sleep a baby

Delightful love song! It is full of contradictions, as love is, sometimes... What does it suggest to you?

"Clouds filled with stars cover the skies
And I hope it rains, you're the perfect lullaby"
What do you think this means?

By the way... have you noticed that it is full of informal expressions? Do you remember that we talked about the meaning of "wanna", "ain't", and so on? Thus... can you guess what "kinda" stands for?

Hi Jessica!
This is a wonderful song that suggests to me that love can be a beautiful thing but may be it can be also a bad thing, and she is inlove of somebody and she always is thinking about him.


About the phrase "Clouds filled with stars cover the skies..." I think that it means something like when rains you prefear to be at home in the sofa watching some good film than be in the street with the rain, and if you are next to the person you love you will be better, that is the reason that he is "the perfect lullaby".


Yes, I noticed that in the song are som informal forms of expressions we studied in class, and yes I guessed the meaning.
