I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night Lyrics
Last night your shadow fell upon my lonely room
I touched your golden hair and tasted your perfume
Your eyes were filled with love the way they used to be
Your gentle hand reached out to comfort me
Then came the dawn
And you were gone
You were gone, gone, gone
I had too much to dream last night
Too much to dream
I'm not ready to face the light
I had too much to dream
Last Night
The room was empty as I staggered from my bed
I could not bear the image racing through my head
You were so real that I could feel your eagerness
And when you raised your lips for me to kiss
Came the dawn
And you were gone
You were gone, gone, gone
Oh, too much to dream
Oh, too much to dream
Too much to dream last night
Oh, too much to dream
I touched your golden hair and tasted your perfume
Your eyes were filled with love the way they used to be
Your gentle hand reached out to comfort me
Then came the dawn
And you were gone
You were gone, gone, gone
Too much to dream
I'm not ready to face the light
I had too much to dream
Last Night
I could not bear the image racing through my head
You were so real that I could feel your eagerness
And when you raised your lips for me to kiss
And you were gone
You were gone, gone, gone
Oh, too much to dream
Too much to dream last night
Oh, too much to dream

Guy loses girl, guy still loves girl, guy dreams of still having girl, guy wakes up to find guy does NOT still have girl, guy becomes extremely depressed.
Not every song from the 60's was about LSD.
When I was younger I heard the original song was "I Had Too Much To Drink Last Night" and of course they changed it ....and got it on the air....
Hey I was 10 years old at the time...What can I say.
This song is from my era. It is another Vietnam song. The guy doesn't want to face waking up again in country without the girl he loves! (As told by the writer in an interview, though I can't find it on the net right now!) It was based on a letter from a friend who was in country. The friend came home in white satin as the saying went then! (Dead) So it's a tribute to yet another "Knight in White Satin"! It's not quite as trivial as just a guy and girl broke up and now he regrets it. They never broke up, he was stolen from her by the war! Vets get it, others never will! Scotty

"Guy" didn' lose girl. The guy was in Vietnam and could not bear awakening from the dreams of the girl he loves and still loves him (as far as he knows). The writer said it was from a letter he got from a buddy tyhat was in country who wanted reasured that the girl still loved and missed him since he'd had no letters in weeks from her. This buddy then came home in satin as was said in that day, so his friend never got to write him back.
(See Knights in White Satin") So only vets serving in actual war will ever understand all the meaning in "I had too much to Dream"! Scotty
WHAT?! WHO SAID THIS WAS A DRUG SONG? Damned punks always claiming a song is about drugs. I mean, it's just about a guy, um, who, uh, well, you know, ... Like, the whole thing is, everyone says drugs will mess with your mind, and you'll jump off buildings, and... Uh, the whole social dynamic is like, um,...
What was the question?
