Dream Street RoseisCanadian singer Gordon Lightfoot's thirteenth studio album, released in 1980 on the Warner Brothers Records label (#3426). The album peaked at #58 on the country chart and at #60 on the pop chart. It was the last album that would see Lightfoot collaborate with long-time producer Lenny Waronker.

The album continues in the style of Summertime Dream (1976) and Endless Wire (1978), with a mix of faster-paced, country-style songs, and introspective folk ballads. Lightfoot's penchant for seafaring songs was again evident with three songs featuring an ocean theme.
