Dreaming Lyrics

When I met you in the restaurant

you could tell I was no debutante.

You asked me what's my pleasure,

"A movie or a measure"?

I'll have a cup of tea and tell you of my dreaming.

Dreaming is free.

I don't want to live on charity.

Pleasure's real or is it fantasy?

Reel to reel is living rarity.

People stop and stare at me,

We just walk on by; we just keep on dreaming.

Feet feet: walking a two mile.

Meet meet: meet me at the turnstile.

I never met him, I'll never forget him.

Dream dream: even for a little while.

Dream dream: filling up an idle hour.

Fade away, radiate.

I sit by and watch the river flow.

I sit by and watch the traffic go.

Imagine something of your very own;

Something you can have and hold.

I'd build a road in gold just to have some dreaming.

Dreaming is free.
