After the session, we played the 'Always' album back, and Patsy was very proud of it. And that's the last, really, the last time that I saw her. [singing: why can't i forget you and start my life anew?] Sweet Dreams was a song that I recorded because I'm such a huge fan of Patsy Cline, and I would end the show with that acapella.

It's just that type of song - the first time you hear it, it just touches your heart.
