Darn that dream
I dream each night
You say you love me
And you hold me tight
But when I awake
You’re out of sight
Oh, darn that dreamDarn your lips
And darn your eyes
They lift me high
Above the moonlit sky
Then I tumble out
Of paradise
Oh, darn that dreamDarn that one track mind of mine
It can’t understand that you don’t care
Just to change the mood I’m in
I’d welcome a nice old nightmareDarn that dream
And bless it too
Without that dream
I never would have you
But it haunts me
And it won’t come true
Oh, darn that dream(long bridge)
Darn that dream
I dream each night
You say you love me
And you hold me tight
But when I awake
You’re out of sight
Oh, darn that dreamDarn your lips
Darn your eyes
They lift me high
Above the moonlit sky
Then I tumble out
Of paradise
Oh, darn that dreamDarn that one track mind of mine
It can’t understand that you don’t care
But just to change the mood I’m in
I’d welcome a nice old nightmareDarn that dream
And bless it too
Without that dream
I never would have you
But it haunts me
And it won’t come true
Oh, darn that dream
