A Lovely Dream
James Johnson 1952 (Algoma, WV)
A Lovely Dream
If I ever dreamt of somebody it was you
You may prehaps already know it is true
If I ever seem so untrue or even simply blue
Maybe its because were not always like glue
If I ever needed a helping hand too
Yours I can really count on like new
If it seems I forgot to hold your hand
Don't worry, I will always be your man
If I ever wanted a real queen
It is you I dreamt of unlike few
It is you I need and cherish
Its our hearts mending into
One soul,
One goal,
and One life.
