Story Behind The Song
This song is adapted from the pain in 2 poems from Sara Watkin's heartbreaking love affairs.
Song Description
I wrote this using the Roland XP80 workstation to try to get someone to hear my song in the hopes they would make a hit song out of it.
I originally wrote this song for Tom Jones. I felt he would love to sing this sort of style. Yeah I know it's a bit outdated musically, but lot's of people still like that kind of music and still see Tom Jones to hear it, and remember this is just for reference as a songwriting sample, not the real thing. The background vocals are also Roland XP 80. Hope to purchase a vocaliser that will divide my voice into other planned harmonies in both male and female voices.

Lyrics
My Dreams
Music by Jesse Mendez
From a poem by Sara Watkins
They say these feeling I?m having will heal in time
That I should walk away and move on
Somewhere along the way I got left out in the cold
You left me alone without a word
You let me go and I wasn?t ready to believe
You?d ever let me down
I thought you?d love me forever
I never knew this would happen
But now that you?re gone
It?s only in my dreams where I fell closest to you
Where I can always find you
With your arms reaching out to hold me
And you love me
And you know that I love you
Somehow I find you in my dreams
Where your thoughts elude me
Where nothing is tangible nothing is real
I?m pulled in by your charm
Awakened by your touch and warm embrace
Tempted by you and I can?t escape
This feeling that carries me solely to you
I?m so lost in you, Oh I get so lost, Oh I get so lost
It?s in my dreams where I feel closest to you
Where I can always find you
With your arms reaching out to hold me
And you love me and you know that I love you too
Beyond my dreams I will never get to be with you
I just can?t allow you to get that close to my heart
So even though I?m alone so in need of your love
You will always beyond my reach
A shining star in the sky
I look to you each night
You are the wealth of love I long for
Where you and I can meet
I look forward to loving you in my dreams
It?s in my dreams where I feel closest to you
Where I can always find you
With your arms reaching out to hold me
And you love me and you know that I love you too
(Repeat and adlib)
It?s only in my dreams where I fell closest to you
Where I can always find you
