So last night I had this weird dream in which I was auditioning for something and did not know ANY of the lyrics. I had to stop – it was so embarrassing – and tell the judges that I couldn’t remember any of the song (and I had just been coaching someone else on the very same one!) and that I would have to come back later. The only song I could think of where I knew all the lyrics front and back was “A Song For You” sung by The Carpenter’s. After rehearsing it in my mind a few times – I ran back into the room and said – “I’m ready!” Because I know it so well – I was able to sing it with clarity and emotion – and NAILED IT.
Below is the song that even in my dreams I am able to bring to a quick recollection.

Have you ever done something in your dreams you would never do when you’re awake – like audition when not ready?

Enjoy and God Bless

I’ve been so many places in my life and time
I’ve sung a lot of songs I’ve made some bad rhyme
I’ve acted out my love in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we’re alone now and I’m singing this song for you

I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I’ve treated you unkindly but darlin’ can’t you see
There’s no one more important to me
Darlin’ can’t you please see through me
Cause we’re alone now and I’m singing this song for you

You taught me precious secrets of the truth witholding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
But now I’m so much better and if my words don’t come together
Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding

I love you in a place where there’s no space or time
I love you for in my life you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together
We were alone and I was singing this song for you

You taught me precious secrets of the truth withholding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding
But now I’m so much better and if my words don’t come together
Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding
