Lyrics

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 dream Darn your lips and darn your eyes They lift me high above the moonlit skies Then I tumble out of paradise Oh, darn that dream Darn that one-track mind of mine I can't understand that you don't care Just to change the mood I'm in I'd welcome a nice old nightmare Darn 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
