Sweet Picket Dreams lyrics

Artist  : Solange Knowles 
Song : Sweet Picket Dreams
 
I'm sitting here looking at this old canvas

And the picture looks so different from you

Yes it does

Maybe it's time to go back to
the drawing board

Cuz it's likely that the
man I drew is fictional



(chorus)

It's possible to dream such a thing that's so
far away

And the flame that you bring is
warm enough

It's possible we all want a
dream that's so far away

And my white
picket dream is home enough.

Oh yeah...



I'm lying in the dark but it's pitch
bright

Cuz this yellow in my soul and it
rays 

It brings me whole. 

I figured
I'd be married young with two offspring

But
this timing and it don't wait for you to carry
on

So I wait for the day (for the day)

when this frame, shows a face, gives a name

And you say, that you will, it's your will

We can build, we can still see it



(Chorus)



And you know I want that,
baby

What you do keep on bringing me joy

And you know we'll have that, baby

I'll
give you that picture, honey, and so much
more

And you know I want that, baby

And you know we'll have that, baby

That
white picket dream we'll paint it

That
house on the hill with our name on that door

And you know I want that, baby

And you
know we'll have that, baby

That white
picket dream of mine 

Will sure be ours in
no time



(chorus)
