Dream (All I Have To Do) Lyrics

Dream dream, dream dream dream
Dream, dream dream dream

When I want you in my arms
Wwhen I want you and all your charms
Whenever I want you all I have to do is

Dream, dream dream dream

When I feel blue in the night
And I need you to hold me tight
Whenever I want you all I have to do is

Dream, dream dream dream
Dream

I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Any time, night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz, I'm dreamin' my life away

I need you so that I could die
I love you so, and that is why
Whenever I want you all I have to do is dream

I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Any time, night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz, I'm dreamin' my life away

I need you so that I could die
I love you so, and that is why
Whenever I want you all I have to do is

Dream, dream dream dream
Dream, dream dream dream
Dream, dream dream dream
Dream

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Dream (All I Have To Do) lyrics by R.E.M.

Mike Mills' vocal on this is heartbreaking..it's available on the sdtrk to some documentary R.E.M appeared in the 80's. Originally recorded by the Everly Bros., it's essentially saying whether or not the narrator can have his crush in reality, it doesn't matter, cuz he'll always have her in his dreams..
