Melanie - Lovers Lullaby Lyrics






And when I remember how good your love feels
The real world goes slipping away
And though it's just dreaming I make your love true
And I trade in this real world for one dream of you

I go to a clearing in the woods that we share
When the real world holds us apart
Though I can't hold your hand and I can't kiss you there
I will die in this real world to live in your heart

And though over simple is there anything else
Sometimes I awaken to question myself

Oh what fools, what children, to follow the heart
For a dream that might last just one night
But something that doesn't speak English says do
And I trade in this real world for one night with you

And something with wings and speaks only in blues
Tells me trade in this real world for one night with you

    Long Lived Melanie! A woman with only her name stamped on her songs! Of course other great divas followed but none compare to her! Love this song and was so great to have grown up in the 60s and 70s as a young baby boomer. Fame came and went just as the Vietnam War. So now what can we do to end the "endless wars of the 21st century? Nothing it's up to the young ones to keep thepeace.

    she doesn't need to be amongs the human trash of todays music so spare me the theatre. those so called garbage singers of today couldn't writer the first sentence to this song.the garbage of today wouldn't have made it back then. because they need videos lol i arrest my case cheers the total other

  23. C.... C....

    no melanie is not underrated otherwise she wouldn't have been beyond famous back in her day.however what you were trying to say she's not like the human trash of today. taking off her clothes to make it like 95% of the garbage singers of today peace if you will.cheers the total other.to remind you she had many number one songs that she has written the words to.hjowever she had no time to rest between 1968 through 1978.still singing writing songs and still kicking ass.

  24. b.... ....

    i hate the vibrato. so common back then unfortunately. But the words OMG! Most beautiful thing ever.

    Title: Lovers lullaby (One dream of you)
    Artist: Melanie Safka
    [Written by Melanie Safka-Schekeryk]
    [1983]

    And when I remember
    how good your love feels
    The real world goes slipping away
    And though it's just dreaming
    I make your love true
    And I trade in this real world
    for one dream of you

  26. B.... B....

    @1955c She was also really freakin hot for a while.

  27. l.... s....

    This is another example of Melanie's amazing and memorable songwriting and singing...She is a one of a kind, FANTASTIC, underappreciated talent... Love her to death, she's the best! MELANIE SAFKA RULES!!! (and don't you forget it, LOL)

  28. C.... C....

    obviously the most beautiful singing voice on this planet as well as other planets who sings like this today ?no one alive or dead. no one could touch the high priestess melanie safka in the history of music and song

  29. t.... ....

    Melanie is truly a gift and so underrated.

  30. C.... C....

    the most beautiful singing voice on our planet why can't we have other singer songwriters like this great lady melanie safka who moves me as well as others i tremble my hair stands everytime i hear her beyond non descriptive beautiful powerful instrumental voice

  31. R.... B....

    This came at a moment in time that was absolutely perfect/divine!
    thank you

  32. d.... ....

    Beautiful song and beautiful voice! I hear your love cries.

  33. J.... W....

    Very nice song I ve never heard it before Thank you

  34. d.... ....

    What a fantastic song - It moved me to tears. What an absolutely underrated singer/songwriter Melanie is. Too bad she will be long gone before mainstream R&R realize how important her contributions to music - as we know it today - are. Where would the likes of Cheryl Crow - The Dixie Chicks and countless others be if it wren't for Melanie - Joan - Carly and Carol? And why is Melanie the one who is "on the outside looking in"? Go to Europe and everyone knows her name.
