(Aretha Franklin / Ted White)
If I lose this dream
I don't know what I'm gonna do
If I lose 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
Or help it grow
And I only know, I only know, I only know
If I lose this dream
It's goodbye love and happiness, yes
You're the one I need
I don't want a love
That's second best
There've been 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 all come true, they all come true
For me and you
Wait a minute baby
Don't let me lose this dream
Baby, baby hold on
Don't let me lose my dream, no
Baby, baby be strong
You say that a-you believe that what I say is true
And that I'm the one and only girl for you
Just tell me
That no matter what the people say
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, no
Baby, baby be strong
Don't let me lose this dream
Baby, baby hold on
Don't let me lose, lose my dream
Baby, baby hold on
Don't let me, ooh baby
