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.
