Beautiful Dream is a song written by Ben Caver and Erin McCarley and performed by Maddie Conrad and Clayton Carter in the Season Five episode (Now and Then There's) A Fool Such as I. They first perform it together in his bedsit before Daphne phones to tell her her song is being played on the radio.
Maddie later performs it alone in her bedroom after Clay breaks up with her as Deacon listens to her outside.
She performs it at a concert in the episode You Can't Lose Me.
The ballad version is included on The Music of Nashville (Season 5, Volume 3).
Lyrics[]
Off to sleep I'm going to meet you in the night
When you're around I'm all filled up and bright
I don't know much about you
But I know you're in my heart
I was hoping I could find you in the dark
I wanna wake up holding you darling
I wanna wake up feeling you, feeling you breathe
I know there's nothing about you that's real
but I keep on believing and seeing you
you and me in this beautiful dream
Seeing you, you and me in this beautiful dream
The way you hold your head up
The way your eyes they shine
I never wanna come down off this high
So I won't try and fight it
I need you more and more
Every time my heart collides with yours
I wanna wake up holding you darling
I wanna wake up feeling you
Feeling you breathe
I know there's nothing about you that's real
But I keep on believing and seeing you
You and me in this beautiful dream
Seeing you, you and me in this beautiful dream
I wanna wake up holding you darling
I wanna wake up feeling you
Feeling you breathe
I know there's nothing about you that's real
But I keep on believing and seeing you
You and me in this beautiful dream
Seeing you, you and me in this beautiful dream
You and me in this beautiful dream
