Darn That Dream
(w)Edgar De Lange, (m)Jimmy Van Heusen,
(Verse)
Love is a strange and powerful thing.
It can bring you down, or make you sing.
Love may give you a millionaire's scheme,
But it only gave me one dream.
(Chorus)
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,
It 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.
