Lyrics Don't Let Me Lose This Dream (Live at the Olympia Theatre, Paris, May 7, 1968) - Aretha Franklin

Thank you
Good evening ladies and gentlemen
I wonder if you would believe me if I say

If I lose this dream, I don't know what I'm gonna do
If I lose this dream (this dream) I'm dreaming about for me and you
If it goes away, I might as well hang it up, 'cause I don't know
If I have the heart or mind to make it true, to help it grow
And I only know, I only know, I only know

If I lose this dream (this dream) it's goodbye, love and happiness
You're the one I need, I don't want a love that's second best

There been things all of my life I wanted to do that made me blue
Help me hold onto this dream, for sometimes, dreams often come true
And they'll come true, they'll come true, for me and for you, hey
(Wait a minute, baby) what?

Don't let me lose this dream
Baby, baby, hold on
Don't let me lose my dream
Baby, baby, be strong

You say that-a you believe that what I say is true (hey, hey, hey)
And that I'm the one and only girl for you (wait a minute, baby)
And no matter what the people say (hey, hey, hey)
You're in my corner all the way
And I won't lose this dream
Baby, baby, hold on
Don't let me lose my dream
Baby, baby, be strong
Don't let me... Ooh, baby
Baby, baby, hold on, oh
