  • I've come across the desert
    To greet you with a smile
    My camel looks so tired
    It's hardly worth my while
    To tell you of my travels
    Across the golden east
    I see your preparations
    Invite me first to the feast
    Take me I'm yours
    Because dreams are made of this
    Forever there'll be
    A heaven in your kiss

    Amusing belly dancers
    Distract me from my wine
    Across Tibetan mountains
    Are memories of mine
    I've stood some ghostly moments
    With natives in the hills
    Recorded here on paper
    My chills and thrills and spills
    Take me I'm yours
    Because dreams are made of this
    Forever there'll be
    A heaven in your kiss

    It's really been some welcome
    You never seem to change
    A grape to tempt your leisure
    Romantic gestures strange
    My eagle flies tomorrow
    It's a game I treasure dear
    To seek the helpless future
    My love at last I'm here
    Take me I'm yours
    Because dreams are made of this
    Forever there'll be
    A heaven in your kiss Writer/s: CHRISTOPHER HENRY DIFFORD, GLENN MARTIN TILBROOK

  • Veronica Sheridan from San DiegoThe song "Sweet Dreams are Made of This" has more than just "dreams are made of this" as a comparison. The keyboard work is similar to and seems as though Lennox and Stewart should acknowledge the song's influence.
  • Zabadak from London, EnglandActually, this wasn't the band's first single: that honour went to the Packet Of Three EP, on the independent Deptford Fun City label. It was the first one for the major A&M label though.
