Katie Melua - Better Than A Dream Lyrics






I used to dream myself to somewhere else each night
I dreamed in colour, cause I lived in black and white.
Until I chanced upon this road that led to you, I could not see
How anything could be

Better than a dream
Stranger than my wild imagination
If this is a real sensation,
It's better than a dream.
Higher than the moon,
Hazy like a beautiful illusion.
Crazy and in confusion,
And better than a dream.

I used to wish I was beyond some distant door,
I knew there must be more to life, and now I'm sure.
No dreams of pirate caves, or Indian braves, or magic carpets could
Ever be this good,

Better than a dream
Stranger than my wild imagination
If this is a real sensation,
It's better than a dream.

Higher than the moon,
Hazy like a beautiful illusion.
Crazy and in confusion,
And better than a dream.

And better than a dream.

  48. Y.... ....

    Not a patch on the original. Sorry, but Mike Batt wrote this, and he sings it far better.

    Melua is a good singer, but this song needs the fantastical approach that Mike Batt uses when he wrote and sang this song.

  49. l.... ....

    Her voice is perfect

  50. C.... B....

    Beautiful woman, boring artist.

  51. a.... z....

    The show this song was the theme to used to give me really bad nightmares! I was banned from watching it!!

    M.... D....

    May Durst Zordrac clearly got to you with his nightmares!

  61. F.... ....

    Who from poland ?
    Kto z polski ?

  62. R.... w....

    Estoy enamorado de esta voz y de esta mujer

  63. H.... ....

    Kiedyś każdej nocy marzyłam o samej sobie w innym miejscu,
    śniłam w kolorze, bo żyłam w czerniach i bielach.
    Dopóki nie natknęłam się na droge, która prowadziła do Ciebie,
    nie mogłabym widzieć jak inaczej mogłoby być...

  64. T.... ....

    The Dream Thief was a five or so minute promo they made showing the story and characters in their prototype stages (you can find it on the site). The first two episodes were originally made as a one hour special, but were still designed for the finalized Dreamstone series while the third episode is a separate story that was edited together for a VHS compilation.

  65. B.... ....

    Yes, but it was about an hour to an hour and a half long, made up of the first 3 episodes of what became the show. While it was still a pilot for the series, it was still a feature-length movie for if it didn't go over well enough to become a series.

  66. T.... ....

    The Dream Thief wasn't a film, it was a short pilot made to sell the idea to networks (this is commonly done with shows before they are finalized).

    You also forgot to mention the Urpneys (Zordrak's minions), they practically were the show. :P

    Nice take on the theme here, lacks the original's majestic and mystical tone however.

  67. T.... ....

    That bald guitarist looks like he's just waiting to rock out but is hypnotised by the beauty within Katie Melua's voice so he has to play nicely.

  68. M.... C....

    It's a gorgeous song performed brilliantly by a very beautiful lady.

  69. t.... ....

    she looks like a beautiful fairytale here....and she is better than a dream :)

  70. m.... ....

    i tak "angole" nie wiedza kto to podsiadlo..

  71. L.... G....

    Katie, świetnie śpiewasz, pozdrowienia z Polski <3

  72. s.... ....

    POSIADŁO brought me here ! ♥ .

  73. C.... ....

    i love you katie !!! :(

  74. B.... ....

    Amazing voice!!!!!
    Love it.

  75. �.... �....

    Прекрасная музыка, очень нравится ее голос и "живость" исполнения.

  76. a.... P....

    i love katie melua !

  77. B.... ....

    The Dreamstone was an old 80s cartoon based on a film called The Dream Thief. It's about a Noop (a green, hobbit-like creature) called Rufus becomes the apprentice of a wizard who brings dreams to all the beings of the land with the help of the Dreamstone (a rainbow coloured crystal). However an evil dragon-like demon called Zordrac, who lives in The Land of Nightmares, constantly tries to steal the Dreamstone so he can control everything with it's power. It was a rather good series.

  78. b.... ....

    In your opinion! Blows the original away, in mine!

  79. b.... ....

    This is one of those songs you have to listen to again and again and again... and when you aren't listening to it, you are playing it again and again, and again in your head... and probably dreaming about it in your sleep!

  80. n.... n....

    i don't think that she is boring no...she sings with feeling ....text,melody,rhythm everything is near with people's life...)))and who says that she has boring songs...oh i think that it can't think and hasn't feelings....)))

  81. b.... ....

    ...kojąco...wzruszająco...Pięknie!

  82. L.... ....

    She ruined the whole song.

  83. M.... S....

    How did I get to Heaven? I don't remember dying... Only in Heaven can you hear such a beautiful song.

    I really love Katie's voice, and I used to watch this show all the time as a kid. I'm so glad to hear a cover of the song, but it's made better by the fact that Katie's singing it.

  84. S.... P....

    I just had to come back here again. x

  85. H.... ....

    Nice song, but "the problem" with K. Melua is her tunes are always the same. Suppose u got me! PS It wasn't me who disliked it.

  86. K.... ....

    Heard this on Radio 2 love the music and words aren't bad either. I loved Mike Batt music especially when Sir (1) Terry Wogan played him a lot on Radio 2.

  87. S.... H....

    who the hell disliked THIS!!!! :/

  88. M.... S....

    there is only one word to sum up katie stunner

  89. T.... ....

    wow awesome, i wish more people would sing the theme of dreamstone

  90. i.... ....

    When was this concert?

  91. j.... ....

    This was the theme from Dreamstone, it was created by Mike Batt who also created another of Katie's songs 'Blame it on the moon'. So not really surprised to see Katie now singing this!

  92. e.... ....

    I used to dream myself to somewhere else each night,
    I dreamed in colour, 'cause I lived in black and white,
    Until I chanced upon this road that led to you,
    I could not see, how anything could be...

    Better than a dream, stranger than my wild imagination,
    If this is a real sensation
    It's better than a dream.
    Higher than the moon, hazy like a beautiful illusion,
    Crazy and in confusion
    And better than a dream.

  93. c.... ....

    What a smooth and sweet performance. The final touch is the way she pronounces the word "wild". I just can't get over it.

  94. c.... ....

    That so true the dreamstone did have it first you can find the song on YouTube.

  95. K.... S....

    The Dreamstone had it first! no one belives me on that : (

  96. S.... P....

    @CynthiaShirona149 I loved that program. Since I last saw it as a kid ive never forgot the theme tune. And I rele like katie melua and when i saw she coverd it, it was better than a dream :)
