Mister dream man, I'm thru
Believin' in you, what do you do?
You wait until you find me asleep
Then in you creep
You hold just right up to my eyes
A bundle full of happiness
and my heart sighs
Until I realize
You are only telling lies

Last night you brought a dream
What a pretty dream
No one livin' had a thing on me
My little turtle dove
Came all lit with love
With kisses sweet as
peaches drowned in cream
With hugs so fine
The very kind that steals away your mind
The preacher came and said
With this ring I thee wed
The wedding bells were
ringing out for me
To tell the world the news,
the happy joyous news
The clock rang out as
loud as loud could be
When I awoke, my joy was smoke
Now I've got those dreaming blues

Last night you brought a dream
What a pretty dream
No one livin' had a thing on me
My little turtle dove
Came all lit with love
With kisses sweet as
peaches drowned in cream
With hugs so fine
The very kind that steals away your mind
The preacher came and said
With this ring I thee wed
The wedding bells were
ringing out for me
To tell the world the news,
the happy joyous news
The clock rang out as
loud as loud could be
When I awoke, my joy was smoke
Now I've got those dreaming blues

Mister dream man you know
That fibbers all go
right down below
You promised me a wonderful life
All free of strife
You tell me untruths by the score
No wonder that I'm peevish
and I'm feelin' sore
No use of sayin' more
You have heard it all before

Last night you brought a dream
What a pretty dream
No one livin' had a thing on me
My little turtle dove
Came all lit with love
With kisses sweet as
peaches drowned in cream
With hugs so fine
The very kind that steals away your mind
The preacher came and said
With this ring I thee wed
The wedding bells were
ringing out for me
To tell the world the news,
the happy joyous news
The clock rang out as
loud as loud could be
When I awoke, my joy was smoke
Now I've got those dreaming blues

Last night you brought a dream
What a pretty dream
No one livin' had a thing on me
My little turtle dove
Came all lit with love
With kisses sweet as
peaches drowned in cream
With hugs so fine
The very kind that steals away your mind
The preacher came and said
With this ring I thee wed
The wedding bells were
ringing out for me
To tell the world the news,
the happy joyous news
The clock rang out as
loud as loud could be
When I awoke, my joy was smoke
Now I've got those dreaming blues
