[Verse 1]
Darn that dream I dream each night
You say you love me and you hug me tight
But when I awake you're out of sight
Oh, darn that dream

[Verse 2]
Darn your nails, darn your eyes
They lift me high above the starry skies
Then I tumble out of paradise
Oh, darn that dream

[Bridge]
Darn this one-track mind of mine
It can't understand that you don't care
Just to change the mood I'm in
I'd welcome a nice old nightmare

[Verse 3]
Darn that dream and bless it, too
Without that dream I never would have you
But it haunts me and it won't come true
Oh, darn that dream

[Trumpet Solo]
[Verse 3]
Darn that dream and bless it, too
Without that dream I never would have you
But it haunts me and it won't come true
Oh, darn that dream
