I Can't Remember The Dream - They Might Be Giants

I can’t remember the dream that I had last night

But I woke with delight and excitement

And then when I tried to remember the dream that I had last night

It was gone but the feeling I had in the dream stayed on

When I’m awake and I look around me

I can faithfully record everything that I can see

Most of my memories tend to be sad

So I wish I could remember the dream that I had

I can’t remember the dram that I had last night

If I could I would write it out, underline th highlights

Of the dream that would now redefine my life

Be a new road map, affirmation, and guiding light

When I’m awake I note all that I see

And remember it with photographic accuracy

Most of my memories tend to be bad

And I’m sad I can’t remember the dream that I had

Why can’t I remember it when

I can’t forget unpleasant thoughts?

I want to push them away

They creep like weeds, like weeds they cover all the flowerbeds

I can’t remember the dream that I had last night

But the simple fact that my mind could concoct such a thing

As the incredible dream that I had last night

Is a clue to the key to a door to a world like that
