But It's A Nice Dream
Dusty Springfield · Other Songs - Dusty Springfield
Make love all day
You'll never stay
But it's a nice dream
Just me for you
Our whole life through
It won't come true
But it's a nice dream
Such a nice dream
So, kiss me goodbye
I'm sorry that it went so fast
Our future has become our past
Too good we couldn't last
Oh, and now we see
With you and me
One's gotta let go
But it's a nice dream
Oh, baby, such a nice dream
So, kiss me goodbye
I'm sorry that it went so fast
Our future has become our past
Too good we couldn't last
Mmm, and now we see
With you and me
One's gotta let go
And let the other go free
Aah, in love we'll still be
Oh, it proves it was real
It was a real nice dream
But It's A Nice Dream
