"Darn That Dream" lyrics - DEXTER GORDON

Imagine me with my head on your shoulder
And you with your lips getting bolder
A sky full of moon and a sweet mellow tune
I'll buy that dream
Imagine me in a gown, white and flowery
And you thanking Dad for my dowry
A church full of folks, those last minute jokes
I'll buy that dream
A honeymoon in Cairo in a brand new auto gyro
Then off to Rio for a drink, we'll settle down in Dallas
In a little plastic palace, oh, it's not as crazy as you think
Imagine me eighty-three, wearing glasses
And you ninety-two, making passes
It doesn't sound bad and if it can be had
I'll buy that dream
Imagine me with my head on your shoulder
And you with your lips getting bolder
The sky full of moon, a sweet mellow tune
I'll buy that dream
Imagine me in a gown, white and flowery
And you thanking Dad for my dowry
A church full of folks and those last minute jokes
I'll buy that dream
A honeymoon in Cairo in a brand new auto gyro
Then home by rocket in a wink, we'll settle down near Dallas
In a little plastic palace, it's not as crazy as you think
Imagine me on our first anniversary
With someone like you in the nursery
Oh, it doesn't sound bad and if it can be had
I'll buy that dream
