Collins, Judy - Sweet Dreams Lyrics
He left a man in New York City
She broke a home in New Orleans
They made their way to California
Sweet dreams, children, sweet dreams
When she kicked the cigarette machine
And woke him up hard from his nap beside it
Woke him up hard from his sweet dreams
He talked about his suggar daddies
She talked about her mean Marine
The settled down in seats adjoining
Sharing sweet dreams, sweet dreams
Well there's no man to sell your heart to
No husband to beat you when you're in the movies
Just sweet dreams, children, sweet dreams
Run away to another skin
A tough one, a pretty one
That won't let the badness in
Now he's keepin' house for a big producer
Who pays for the classes and the limousines
And she's in a bar, passed out on whiskey
Dreaming sweet dreams, still dreaming sweet dreams
Run away to another skin
A tough one, a pretty one
That won't let the sadness in
Won't let the madness in
There is a sidewalk in California
Where they put the stars right at your feet
And people delight in stepping on them...

Collins, Judy Sweet Dreams Comments
I lurrrv it! real coyote song - ( u can howl and howl - we all need to sometimes)
ha ha yeah i hear what u mean XOXO
Lovely interpretation of a wonderful song by the incomparable Judy Collins...really shows the tragedy of "superficial love".
Seriously?
One of the most tragic and sad songs I've ever heard.
Lovely song, and beautifully sung.
Rubato is a musical term meaning a tempo not in strict rhythm. A performer, when performing rubato, will speed up or slow down as he or she sees fit.
@meltzerboy
Collins sings this wonderfully, and the song has a thought-provoking message. Thanks for sharing, meltzerboy, and thanks for posting, interact1x!
It would be impossible to improve on this version of this beautiful and touching song. Judy Collins' voice is the purest crystal. Especially love the way she underplays the rubatos and how delicately she sings the most emotional moments.
