[Verse 1]
Baby, it seems the time is never right
You're goin' left and I'm goin' right
Its crazy
But I'm still waiting

[Pre-Chorus]
If I play my cards right
My lucks gonna strike
Until then there's a night
All I wanna do

[Chorus]
Is dream, dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream
Like lovers do
And it might come true

[Bridge]
If I dream, dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream
It just might be the only time that I'm with you
When I dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream
Oh, I dream
Yes, I dream
Dream, dream
Dream, dream
They say that dreams they sometimes do come true

[Verse 2]
Your star shines so bright
You're the queen of my night
In the daytime not quite
But I'm so glad that I

[Chorus]
Can dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream
Like lovers do
And it might come true

[Outro]
If I dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream
It just might be the only time that I'm with you
When I dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream
Of you

John Legend

John Legend was born in 1978 in Ohio. He became an in-demand session musician and songwriter, working with such artists as Alicia Keys, Twista and Janet Jackson. He was soon introduced to up-and-coming hip-hop artist Kanye West, and the two musicians collaborated on one another’s demos.

J. Ivy claims credit for bestowing the “Legend” moniker upon John Stephens (with an assist from Kanye West). Via

Kanye was like, ‘Have you heard of this singer called John Stephens?’ He played me this song from him, that I think will.i.am produced. It was so refreshing and soulful. An hour later, John Stephens comes into the studio. I told him, ‘I heard your music. It’s so amazing. It sounds old school. Man, you sound like one of the legends. You’re a legend. Matter of fact, that’s what I am going to call you from now The Legend. A couple days later, we were in the lounge of the studio (Record Plant) and John Stephens walks in and everyone shouts him out. I was like, ‘John Legend!’ Kanye then said, ‘You’re John Legend from now on. That’s your name!’”
