As long as I'm dreaming,
How nice it can be.
How nice to have you in love with me.
Did you know that you just kissed me.
What a thrill I got.
As long as I'm dreaming, why not?
If I were just wishing,
what good would it do?
What chance would I have to wish for you?
If you never know I love you,
still it works out fine
as long as I'm dreaming, your mine!
I fall in love with you everyday.
The thrill is always new everyday.
The sun may shine,
the rain may fall,
and icy winds may blow;
You smile at me
and all I see
are blossoms in the snow.
I thank my lucky star everyday.
That you are as you are everyday.
The years may come,
the years may go;
If we're still here I'll say
I fall in love with you everyday.
The more I see you,
The more I love you.
And how that feeling just grows and grows,
with every sigh I become more mad about you,
more lost without you, and so it goes.
Can you imagine how much I'll love you,
the more I see you as years go by.
I know the only one for me
can only be you.
My arms won't feel you,
My heart won't cry.
Lately when I'm in my room, all by myself.
In the solitary gloom, I call to myself.
Hey there.
You with the stars in your eyes.
Love never made a fool of you.
You used to be two eyed.
Hey there.
You on that high flying cloud.
Though she won't throw a crumb to you,
You think someday she'll come to you?
Better forget her.
Her with her nose in the air.
She has you dancin' on a string.
Break it, and she won't care.
Won't you take this advice
I hand you like a brother?
Or are you not seeing things to clear?
Are you just too far gone to hear?
Is it all going in one ear,
and out the other?
