Dreams of Leaving Lyrics

Goodnight my angel of the dark
Moonlight rising on the park
I've got to go, it's nearly morning
Though leaving you will break my heart

Don't be afraid of dreams of leaving
Remember they are only dreams
They have no meaning in the sunlight
Just the same as you and me

And I hear friends walk by the river
Ghost ??? is coming in
Loneliness is like a mirror
You see yourself in everything

Goodnight my angel of the dark
Moonlight rising on the park
I've got to go, it's nearly morning
Though leaving you will break my heart

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.
