Johnny Mercer
This Time the Dream’s on Me
[Verse 1]
Somewhere, someday
We'll be close together, wait and see
Oh, by the way, this time the dream's on me

[Verse 2]
You'll take my hand
And you'll look at me adoringly
But as things stand, this time the dream's on me

[Bridge]
It would be fun
To be certain that I'm the one
To know that I at least
Supply the shoulder you cry upon

[Verse 3]
To see you grow
Till you're everything you want to be
It can't be true, but this time the dream's on me

[Break]
Oh, by the way, this time the dream's on me
But as things stand, this time the dream's on me

[Bridge]
It would be fun
To be certain that I'm the one
To know that I at least
Supply the shoulder you cry upon
[Verse 3]
To see you through
Till you're everything you want to be
It can't be true, but this time the dream's on me

[Outro]
This time the dream's on
This time the dream's on me
