Dreams Can Tell a Lie
Last night I had a dream of you
My heart began to cry
I saw you kissing someone new
But dreams can tell a lie
The moon was bright
He held you tight
I heard you softly sigh
Two silhouettes were swaying
What words were you saying?
No wonder I've been praying
That dreams can tell a lie!
For where there's smoke you'll find a fire
And in my dreams I saw the gleam of your desire!
Tonight we'll meet along the street
And all my fears will fly
Your loving arms will hold me
And as they enfold me
Your kiss will soon have told me
That dreams can tell a lie
For where there's smoke you'll find a fire
And in my dreams I saw the gleam of your desire!
Tonight we'll meet along the street
And all my fears will fly
Your loving arms will hold me
And as they enfold me
Your kiss will soon have told me
That dreams can tell a lie
