Your Wildest Dreams - Moody Blues, The (cover-live by Bill Sharkey)

Your Wildest Dreams (Moody Blues, The, 1986). Live cover performance by Bill Sharkey, Home Studio, Hawaii Kai, HI. 2022-02-27. "Keeping the Oldies Alive"

"Your Wildest Dreams" was the Moody Blues' last of six top 20 hits rising to #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1986 (Whitburn, 2013). Writer Justin Hayward stated "I thought I was writing a frivolous sort of song. I thought 'Wildest Dreams' would be a throwaway thing that people wouldn't really take much notice of lyrically. But I found out that it was a common experience and desire by a lot of people. So that was very revealing" (songfacts.com, 2022). Hayward claimed that the song was written about a specific person, but he has refused to indicate who the person is (societyofrock.com, 2022).

Lyrics:

Once upon a time
Once when you were mine
I remember skies
Reflected in your eyes
I wonder where you are
I wonder if you think about me
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams

Once the world was new
Our bodies felt the morning dew
That greets the brand new day
We couldn't tear ourselves away
I wonder if you care
I wonder if you still remember
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams

And when the music plays
And when the words are touched with sorrow
When the music plays
I hear the sound I had to follow
Once upon a time

Once beneath the stars
The universe was ours
Love was all we knew
And all I knew was you
I wonder if you know
I wonder if you think about it
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

And when the music plays
And when the words are touched with sorrow
When the music plays
And when the music plays
I hear the sound I had to follow
Once upon a time

Once upon a time
Once when you were mine
I remember skies
Mirrored in your eyes
I wonder where you are
I wonder if you think about me
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams
In your wildest dreams
In your wildest dreams
In your wildest dreams
