Thanks to Kristine for the lyrics
SalukiDave at Rmas: "The lyrics are very basic, something along the lines of "I want to see you smile...." Many of the lyrics repeat. The song sounds very Roy Orbison-ish."

DannyChico at GreasyLake: "The lyrics were something involving: "Dream", "Keep that candle burning", "All i want to do is see you smile" , "Smile for me."

It was a song of a band called Suicide "Dream Baby Dream"
Suicide's Why Be Blue?'s supplementary disc documents a celebratory concert performed for an adoring Parisian crowd at Le Palace, 17th April 1989. This vital recording should be of particular interest for long standing Suicide aficionados, as it contains numerous Vega/Rev compositions that the band have never yet recorded in the studio: the resigned but defiant 'C'est La Vie', the decadent and improvised Latin flavoured 'Mambo Mambo' ("Here's a song even I haven't heard before," states Vega), the wanton mutant rockabilly of 'Rock Train' (dedicated to their ardent fan and ceaseless champion, Bruce Springsteen, whose Nebraska LP was heavily influenced by SUICIDE, the propulsive 'Night Time' and the sleazy 'On Fire'. Also featured are inspired renditions of 'Johnny' (recorded on their 1st LP) and their enduring anthemic 1983 12 inch single, 'Dream Baby Dream'.
