Dream, I dream a dream of you
A tiny dancer in a field of blue
A pointed toe Tchaikovsky play
To bend you down so lowly

It's your raven hair that makes me mad
Your insane eyes that make me sad
The California feeling and the Mississippi smile
That makes me come on slowly

It's trying to be real cool and soft
So I won't take the chance and turn you off
And not to get to know you just because of love
That makes me come on slowly

It isn't that I wouldn't want to make it all come true
Oh baby if I had the chance to be alone with you
It's watching how you opеrate when the chips arе down
That makes me come on slowly
