Love's Dream
A 1964 British Invasion garage-pop song in the emotional DNA of early UK beat bands, fast foot-stomp rhythm, pounding drums recorded in a stairwell, jangly electric guitars, loud hand-claps, and raw mono sound. A nervous teenage boy sings passionately about standing outside a girl’s door, afraid to lose her but desperate to be chosen. The verses are tense and driving, and the chorus explodes with pleading group harmonies shouting his feelings. The vocal is urgent, slightly strained, innocent but intense, full of youthful heartbreak and romantic anxiety. Catchy, dramatic, and full of youthful desperation.

Lyrics
Verse
Well the night is a dark one and the sky's a red glow
It's so dark you can't see and there's a star that don't show
And a girl who stands right there and her eyes are bright
And I ask her
"Is it real or just a dream of the night?"
Chorus
And she said
"Love's a dream
Love's a dream
Love's a dream of the night"
Verse
And then I felt her close and the love grew strong
And we said we'll be together and the nights were long
And we said we'd never part and we'd never say goodbye
And I held her in my arms
I told her it would never die
Chorus
And she said
"Love's a dream
Love's a dream
Love's a dream of the night"
Bridge
I say
"Don't go away
I want you to stay
I want you to stay"
And she said
"Love's a dream
Love's a dream
Love's a dream of the night"
