Dream On Lyrics

Yesterday's dreams today are sorrow
Just like your love, girl, fading away
Yesterday's love won't last 'till tomorrow
I know you're leaving, but what can I say?
Oh (oh) wish that I could find a way
To make you stay I've got to prove to you
That I love you, I need you, oh how I need you
Don't go (don't go) don't go (don't go)
If you go, don't you know
You're gonna leave me with

Yesterday's dreams though gone behind us
They're lonely reminders of plans that we made
Yesterday's plans today gone forever
But they're locked here inside me they never will fade
Although (although) you may go, time will show me
Dreamin' still, I always will
'Cause I love you, I need you, oh how I need you
Don't you go (don't go) don't you leave me, baby (don't go)
Baby don't you leave me (don't go) please don't leave me
(Don't go) here with yesterday's dreams

Although (although) you may go, time will show me
Dreamin' still, I always will
Yesterday's dreams are a small pile of ashes
With one burning hope that hangs on

Reach Out I'll Be There

I Can't Help Myself

Baby I Need Your Lovin'

Ask The Lonely

Although (although) you may go, time will show me
Dreamin' still, I always will
Yesterday's dreams are a small pile of ashes
With one burning hope that hangs on

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.
