Sweet Dreams of Texas The Bluebonnets are in the second verse. My favorite uncle heard this song and said "How in the world could you have ever known about my experiences back in Texas in 1961? That was the year you were born!" It's his favorite song. Something in it tells his story--and part of mine, too, in a way. WARNING: only parts of this song are true! SWEET DREAMS OF TEXAS Brent Ellison Javabrent Music © 2002 Tonight I’ll lay down to sleep And I hope to dream Sweet Dreams of Texas Dreams of good times to lay soft on my mind Like the thought of Texas And though I might well wake with tears in my eyes And a longing for days gone by I can’t think of anything that I’d rather dream of tonight Lately it seems I’ve been dreaming Sweet dreams of long ago Wakin’ up all sad and wondering Why I ever let you go I guess I just remember the good times The bad times have mellowed like wine Though our love’s long gone And time has moved on These memories will always be mine I still can see Texas in springtime The fields painted magical blue A memory I’ll never get over Just like my memories of you So tonight I’ll lay down to sleep And I hope to dream Sweet Dreams of Texas Dreams of good times to lay soft on my mind Like the thought of Texas And though I might well wake with tears in my eyes And a longing for days gone by I can’t think of anything but Sweet Dreams of Texas tonight I can’t think of anything but Sweet Dreams of Texas tonight
