Oh What a Dream Lyrics

Woke up this morning and I looked around
So disappointed, I laid back down
Oh, what a dream, what a dream
I had last night

Dreamed I held you in my arms
But I'm still waitin' for that day to come

Oh, what a dream
What a dream
I had last night

Dreamed we were walkin' down the aisle
The organ was playing "Here Comes the Bride"
You looked down at me, you began to smile
When I looked, around everybody began to cry

I opened my eyes, you weren't there
All of my happiness just disappeared

Oh, what a dream
What a dream
I had last night

I opened my eyes, you weren't there
All of my happiness just disappeared

Oh, what a dream
What a dream
I had last night

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.
