I’ll Never Have To Dream Again
If I should wake and find your arms around me
I know I'll never have to dream again
If I should wake and feel your lips surrender to mine
I'd just be wasting precious time in dreaming
In all my dreams it seems that you are near, dear
But when I wake, you always disappear
If I should wake to hear you say you'll always remain
That's when I'll never have to dream again
In my dreams, you come to me like a phantom melody
Now you're here and with the dawn you're gone
Dream boy, will you ever be mine in all reality?
When can I stop dreaming on and on?
If I should wake and find your arms around me
Why, I'll know I'll never dream again
If I should feel your lips surrender to mine
I'd just be wasting time in dreaming
In all my dreams when you are near me
But then you always disappear
If I should hear you say you'll always remain
That's when I'll never have to dream
Never have to dream again
