It Shouldn't Happen To A Dream

(album: In The Land Of Hi-Fi - 1955)

Millions of stars
Playing tag in the sky
Soft little dreams
Holding hands in your eyes
So much at stake and then I wake up
It shouldn't happen to a dream

Light-fingered clouds
Tuck the moon into bed
I feel your lips
Stand my heart on my head
Then comes the ache
Again I wake up
It shouldn't happen to a dream

The flowers get happy
And dance down the lane
The darkness no long is deep
A cloudburst of moonbeams is falling like rain
Each time you walk into my sleep

Here comes the night cutting capers and again
Just for a while you'll be with me and then
The bubble will break
Again I'll wake up
It shouldn't happen to a dream
...
