Pieces of Dreams Lyrics

Pieces of dreams
Islands and oceans
Lovers marooned in each other's arms
Just you and me
The sand and the sea
All alone and drifting it seems
Floating away on
Pieces of dreams
Two Robinson Crusoes
Castaway hearts
Shipwrecked in paradise come true
For me and for you
Lost among our pieces of dreams
Far from together
Halfway between now and forever
We'll watch the waves
On a beach where nobody can find us
We'll leave the whole world behind us
Just you and me -
Pieces of dreams
Floating away on
Pieces of dreams
Islands and oceans
Lovers marooned in each others arms
Just you and me
Adrift and so free
Making love and making believe
Shaping our lives from
Pieces of dreams

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.
