I'll Buy That Dream - 1945

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London - 07 Sept 2001

Before we met
I never dreamed much,
it always seemed such
a waste of time.
But now I find my ev'ry night
full of dreams delightful
and you're the reason
and the rhyme:

Imagine me with my head
on your shoulder
and you
with your lips getting bolder,
a sky full of moon
and a sweet mellow tune
I'll buy that dream.
Imagine me in a gown
white and flow'ry
and you thanking Dad
for my dowry,
a churchful of folks
and those last minute jokes,
I'll buy that dream.
A honeymoon in Cairo
in a brand new autogyro
then home by rocket in a wink.
We'll settle down near Dallas
in a little plastic palace,
It's not as crazy as you think!
Imagine me
on our first annivers'ry
with someone like you in the nurs'ry.
It doesn't sound bad
and if it can be had
I'll buy that dream.

Imagine me with my head
on your shoulder
and you
with your lips getting bolder,
a sky full of moon
and a sweet mellow tune
I'll buy that dream.
Imagine me in a gown
white and flow'ry
and you thanking Dad
for my dowry,
a churchful of folks
and those last minute jokes,
I'll buy that dream.
A honeymoon in Cairo
in a brand new autogyro
then home by rocket in a wink.
We'll settle down near Dallas
in a little plastic palace,
It's not as crazy as you think!
Imagine me
on our first annivers'ry
with someone like you in the nurs'ry.
It doesn't sound bad
and if it can be had
I'll buy that dream.
