You’re my all and everything Yeah, you’re what I was looking for When I didn’t look for anything Kept me coming back for more Till there came a time when I Simply wasn’t leaving anymore… Anymore… Anymore… Anymore Every day with you is great And I’m not afraid to say it Even though you know it anyway Anyway… Anyway… Anyway (oooo well) We could do anything You are my be-all and everything Who could say what we’d become? All I know is that with you, I’ve had Way more fun than anyone Anyone… Anyone… Anyone (oooo well) We could do anything You, you’re my be-all and everything

Sunshine 03:33
Sunshine is here - everything is bright Love it when we’re out in the sunlight Lift up your eyes - find your gaze in mine See my surprise, out in the sunshine Sunshine, sunshine Long lonely night, shadows run and hide All becomes light with you by my side Sunshine is here - everything’s divine It’s totally clear out in the sunshine Sunshine, sunshine, sunshine, sunshine And it’s never going to rain again, And it’s never going to rain again, And it’s never going to rain again, Sunshine … sunshine – Sunshine

Suddensweet 02:56
You came into my life so suddenly But who’s complaining? Not me, Chalk it up to destiny… What else could it be? I could not have foreseen what you’d be meaning to me There’s nothing more to it than chemistry Whatever that means – got me I talk it up but fail to see How we came to be I could never have dreamed what you’d be meaning to me Ooo-oo-ooh I want to believe You feel the same way too Do you? Darling, do you? ‘Cuz if you do… It’s suddensweet to be discovering Whatever we need – it’s not free; Love’s much more than charity We give to receive I could hardly conceive that you’d be giving it to me Ooo-oo-ooh I want to believe You feel the same way too Do you? Darling, do you? ‘Cuz if you do… Darling if you do (I do too)

I know what you’re thinking It’s starting to get too hard to explain To our friends – what we are You’re coming on over We’re keeping it casual, but the same Can’t be said for our souls You don’t know what to say So you carry on until one day you’ve found You’re more than friends We know what we’re doing That’s what we tell ourselves as we fall With our heels way over our heads And everyone noticed Before we admitted it was true – that we Were meant to be two You don’t know what to say So you carry on until one day you’ve found You’re more than friends More than friends -- more than friends Everyone noticed, before we admitted Both of us seemed to see simultaneously We noticed LOVE coming on over both of us, knowing it could be - it's happening, it happened so fast, I didn’t know how quickly I would fall in love with you…

I want to tell you how you make me feel (feel about you) Like I was dreaming and you made it real (dreaming of you) There were times when I had to wonder aloud (just how did I find you?) Your answer came smiling without a sound You’ve been in my heart and I’ve been in yours (through & thru) From highest mountains to faraway shores (we have flown to) Our location has mattered no more than that (now that I’ve found you) Where we are is the only place it’s at We both got lucky That’s the size of it, the most that I can say Looks like we’ve made it That’s a testament to both of our good taste Couldn’t imagine how this came to be (how you’d feel too) Woke up and realized, that I’m happy (now that it’s true) And it’s all come from having you in my life (Now that I’ve found you) Our prospects have never looked so bright... We both got lucky That’s the size of it, the most that I can say Looks like we’ve made it That’s a testament to both of our good taste (x2)

Sweetheart 03:25
Sweetheart, you know you got me Coming back for more, when I’m looking for love I’m gonna walk right through your open door Oh no, it’s coming over Me again, I can’t stop letting you in, Along the way I’ve grown to love you more And when you’re sitting in front of me I know everything will be alright, darling You know me better than I’ve Ever let someone know me before You look into my eyes and know the score They’ve got nothing on us, You and me, we’ve made it what we want it to be – It’s just the two of us, and I love you more And when you’re sitting in front of me I know everything will be alright, darling Sweetheart, you know you got me Coming back for more, I couldn’t help myself I went and fell right in love With you...

dreamsong 03:46
I told my girl I dreamt about her, and she said: I know I was there and saw you dreaming, though my eyes were closed Yet I know the landscape of your mind Picturing perfection Barely glimpsed then left behind So I showed what I projected, while she came along To the place we intersected, back where we belong Where we belong… the longer we believe In one another Imagination’s born to reconceive These dreams come true Through you Each dream renews Who we choose Take my hand and we will fill the air with melody Sing along and harmonize - the spheres they will agree With you and me, how everything is right; Kaleidoscopes of vision Fill our ears with sheer delight These dreams come true Through you Each dream renews Who we choose I fell asleep imagining a world no one has seen Which comes to life at night alone, while I go on to dream But you were there – just like you always are: Capturing perfection To display among the stars…

All I Need 04:09
We’ve had lots of perfect moments And it’s easy to see that there will be a whole lot more Maybe other times I’ve been in love were Baby steps – and now I’m walking next to you Straight and tall and true We’re on solid ground I’d like to keep you around All that I need – you’re all I need now You’re bringing out the best in me Honey, you complete me {Chorus - x2} More than anyone I’ve ever known Before, and after all this time that I’ve known you I’m still discovering you And what I’ve found: I’d like to keep you around All that I need – you’re all I need now You’re bringing out the best in me Honey, you complete me {Chorus - x2} ...{Guitar Solo}...= It’s the sweetest sound: I’d like to keep you around All that I need – you’re all I need now You’re bringing out the best in me Honey, you complete me {Chorus - x4}
9.
Please don’t go because I’d Much rather you stay Got one more tune that I have to play I love you – I love you You know what I mean before I Even have to say it But you listen to me anyway I love you – I love you Still have to get some sleep Just say that you won’t leave Stay and keep me company While I dream (While I dream) You can lay right here or even Just stay in the room When you’re near there is way less gloom I love you – I love you ...{Chorus}...{end with: …counting sheep} Ishi – Ni – San – Shi Go, Roku, Shichi, Hachi, Ku, Ju, Ju-ishi, Ju-ni This is the sweetest sleep I’m dreaming Japanese Come on won’t you join in please Dream with me... (While I dream) -- Dream with me {x5}

Can't Stop 03:33
Started out, didn’t know what I was looking for Same as most of us You came along, took my hand & parted new horizons Together we’ve discovered many things of consequence With the best one being: The journey is more important than the destination How you changed my life completely I don’t even know how to say I can’t stop dreaming of you I feel more awake when I do And it will always be true As long as you feel it too Where we go from here may be an unknown quantity But I just can’t wait To go with you across the years remaining to the two of us yet How you changed my life completely I don’t even know how to say I can’t stop dreaming of you I feel more awake when I do And it will always be true As long as you feel it too because… I can’t stop dreaming of you I feel more awake when I do And it will always be true As long as you feel it too

about

Scott Perry’s third album with band The EastVangelicals, Suite: Dreams (July 1, 2020) is a collection of love-songs written over the course of a 14-year relationship.

Opening with lead-off single “All & Everything”, a bouncy 3-minute romp through the story of love, the album explores the narrative of a developing relationship. “Sunshine” and “Sweetheart” were borrowed back from The Orchid Highway and Top Drawers respectively, each bursting with the joy of discovery that marks the early blooming of love. “More Than Friends” describes how love can can come over us despite ourselves, noticed by others around us before we finally admit it. The “Dreams” of the title plays on “girl of your dreams” or “dreamboat,” but was inspired by several songs that actually came in a dream, chased down and captured in the light of day, notably “dreamsong” and “Dream With Me.” That dreaming theme also informs the album’s upbeat closer, “Can’t Stop,” a brand new song written to bring the story up to the current moment.

Songs are only dreams until someone wakes them to reality, and Scott’s have been realized by his talented band, bassist Eric Lefebvre (Top Drawers, Danny Echo, The Walk-Ins), keyboardist Derek Macdonald (The Bad Beats, Pepper Sands), drummer Adrian Buckley (Cass King and the Cassettes, Star Collector), and guest musicians contributing their talents on steel guitar (Jackson Gardner), and vocals (Graham Myrfield, Tim Payne, and all the EastVangelicals).
