[Verse 1]
When I saw you at the restaurant
You could tell I was no debutante
You asked me "what's your pleasure
A movie or a measure?"
I'll have a cup of tea and we'll just keep on

[Chorus]
Dreaming, dreaming is free
Dreaming, dreaming is free

[Verse 2]
I don't want to live on charity
Pleasure's real or is it fantasy?
Reel to reel is where I want to be
People stop, they stare at me
We just walk on by
We just keep on dreaming

[Bridge]
Dream, dream, only for a little while
Dream, dream, I'm walking through the turnstile
I never met her
Dream, dream, only for a little while
Dream, dream, I'm walking through the turnstile
I never met her, oh I'll never forget her
[Verse 3]
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'll have a cup of tea and we'll just keep on

[Chorus]
Dreaming, dreaming is free
Dreaming, dreaming is free
Dreaming, dreaming is free
Dreaming, dreaming is free
