"Same Time, Same Dream" Copyright December 19, 2025 by Kay-lynn Carew (And Rob B)

(Verse I)
It's warm! It's late!
I really shouldn't be awake, but I am. (Introduction of The Singer Character, "I".)
And I know,
I'm just waiting for the chance,
the chance to sleep and dream
where I left off! (Pitch rises, indicating main idea coming)
(Chorus Refrain)
Meet me here, Same Time, Same Dream! (Dialogue, conversation, spoken to The Love Interest Character.)

(Verse II)
It’s quiet! It’s dark!
I try to calm my beating heart, but I can’t.
And I feel,
like I’m holding on to hope,
So deep it keeps
Pulling me back
(Chorus Refrain)
Meet me here, Same Time, Same Dream!

(NOTE: A Bridge can be an Instrumental Bridge, instead of a Lyrical Bridge. I remember looking a The Beatles' sheet music and seeing the Notation: "Instrumental Interlude". That's an Instrumental Bridge, serving the same purpose, breaking Repetition with Change to sustain listener interest.)
(Stanza as a Bridge Option #1)
You reach for my hand! (Love Interest Character, "You")
You know who I am!
Let's fall to sleep!
Meet me here, Same Time, Same Dream!

(Bridge Option #2. Only one version of a Bridge in one giving should be used, for time constraints and simplicity of listening.)
Someday I’ll see your eyes,
across a crowded room,
in the waking light!
We’ll smile like we've been here before!
We’ve loved in a place beyond the door!

(Verse III, Option #1. No Verse IV should be necessary. I'd pick one. Song will be 3 minutes, 3:30, long 'Enough'.)
I see your face
Though I don’t know you at all
But I do
And it feels
Like you’ve been waiting for me
So long
So close
Just out of reach
Meet me here, same time, same dream

(Verse III, Option #2)
One day I’ll wake
And you won’t fade with the light
You’ll stay
And I’ll know
Every step led me to you
Somehow
Right now
I believe
Meet me here, same time, same dream

Outro
I lie, awake!
I drift back in,
where hope feels close,
and loneliness ends!
Meet me here, Same Time, Same Dream (Words murmered, as if the Singer-Character is drifting off to sleep.)
