From the CD Shine for Patsy Cline Sunshine Brenda Cole Melody Dawn Records In early 1963, Patsy Cline was recording songs for her next album, Faded Love, which was set for release in late March, 1963. She recorded "Sweet Dreams" for the album on February 5. However, on March 5, Cline died in a plane crash upon returning home from a benefit in Kansas City, therefore, the album was never released. The songs were later compiled for the release Patsy Cline the Last Sessions in 1988.
Instead, Decca Records issued a double album, entitled The Patsy Cline Story, in the summer of 1963.
In 1963, "Sweet Dreams" was released to the public and became a big crossover hit, making it to No. 5 on the country chart and to No. 44 on the pop music chart. It also peaked on the U.S. Adult Contemporary chart at No. 15.Sweet dreams of you
Dreams I know can't come true
Why can't I forget the past
Start loving someone new
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
Sweet dreams about you You don't love me, it's plain
I should know you'd never wear my name
I should hate you the whole night through
Instead of having sweet dreams about you You don't love me, it's plain
I should know you'd never, never wear my name
And I should hate you the whole night through
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
Instead of having sweet dreams about you
