Sweet Dreams is a 1985 biographical film which tells the life story of country music singer Patsy Cline.
The film was written by Robert Getchell and directed by Karel Reisz. It stars Jessica Lange, Ed Harris, Ann Wedgeworth, David Clennon, James Staley, Gary Basaraba and John Goodman.
The film was nominated for Academy Award for Best Actress (Jessica Lange). For all the musical sequences, Lange lip-synced to the original Patsy Cline recordings. The soundtrack of the same name was released in September 1985.
Patsy Cline (Lange) is unhappily married and playing small-time gigs in the tri-state area consisting of Virginia, West Virginia, and Maryland when she meets Charlie Dick (Harris), whose charm and aggressive self-confidence catch her attention. In time, Patsy leaves her husband to marry Charlie, and she gives up music to focus on raising their children. But after Charlie gets drafted into the U.S. Army, Patsy begins singing again, and after joining forces with manager Randy Hughes, Patsy becomes a rising star on the country music scene.

Sparkling waterfalls
Creamy satin underneath
Distant voices call
Do you see
Rainbow waters
That shimmer as they float
Tiny fairies wave their arms
A never-ending show
Yeah, mmm
I must be dreaming
Revelations, generations
I'll whiz right through them all
As vacuums hold me to their sides
The links of time so small
Being here, being there
Why it's really awfully sad
That we can't always stay within
This lovely wonderland
Revelations, generations
I'll whiz right through them all
As vacuums hold me to their sides
The links of time so small, oh
Being here, being there
Why it's really awfully sad
That we can't always stay within
This lovely wonderland
