It's The Same Old Dream

Artie Shaw · Last Recordings 3 [2010]

I can see a steeple - surrounded by people

Oh how real it all starts to seem

Just as the choir is singing - my alarm starts ringing

It's the same old dream



And then my thoughts inspire - a scene by a fire

In a cottage close by a stream

I know it all by heart now - we're about to part now

It's the same old dream



If you but knew

How many times I pretend - that I'm with you

I'm sure your heart would unbend - you'd see me through

Until my dream had a happy ending



And I can picture clearly - the things I love dearly

In the center you reign supreme

We kiss and I discover - I'm a lonesome lover

It's the same old dream
