Sandie Shaw - I Had A Dream Last Night (1967)

Sandie Shaw, MBE (born Sandra Ann Goodrich; 26 February 1947) is an English singer. One of the most successful British female singers of the 1960s, she had three UK number one singles with "(There's) Always Something There to Remind Me" (1964), "Long Live Love" (1965) and "Puppet on a String" (1967). With "Puppet on a String", she became the first British entry to win the Eurovision Song Contest. She returned to the UK top 40, for the first time in 15 years, with her 1984 cover of the Smiths song "Hand in Glove". Shaw announced her retirement from the music industry in 2013.

Had a dream last night (he's coming home)

As the darkness creeps into the sky
Making me feel so sad, tell you why
Every night just about at this time
My love will be with me, oh my
And how I miss him, and how I miss him

Lately I've not gone out much at all
Anyway not many people call
I'm not much fun anymore when I'm out
Seems my guy's all that I think about
And how I love him and how I love him

Now I feel so sad (so sad)
When I think of what I had (I had)
I had (I had) it's bad
He seems to love someone I'll never meet again

There was never a love quite like this
And the feeling I got from each kiss
Magic evenings I'd spend by his side
Could not miss them more if I would try
And how I love him and how I love him

Wonderful and amazing voice! Thanks for sharing.

Slow bossa style shuffle with double helpings of Sandie's sweet pop confection - so simple and yet rarely surpassed.

I definitely include this song on my list of ten underrated S. Shaw songs. The list of others are 'Do You Mind', 'Don't You Know', 'I Don't Need That Kind Of Loving', 'Hold I'm Down, 'That's Why', 'You've Been Seeing Her Again' and 'Il A De La Peine' (the French version of As Long As You're Happy Baby)

I think this was her preferred choice for Eurovision from the UK heat. It was written by her friend and collaborator Chris Andrew's who wrote Girl Dont Come. Wonder how it would have done. Tbf I think I all 6 songs in the heat would have won that year.
