Vagabond Dreams

Ella Fitzgerald · Radio Years 1940 [1999]

The night is a velvet cover

My bed is a carpet of dew

And I'm meeting my phantom lover

In a dreamland rendezvous



Vagabond dreams steal into my heart

And speak to me of love once more

Then take me far on a drifting star

To some romantic shore



Find me the one, that wonderful one

Who'll whisper, "I am yours forever"



Fill the night with music dipped in perfume

Like "April in Paris" or maybe "Love in Bloom"

For somehow I feel I'll find my ideal

Tonight in my vagabond dreams
