AFRAID TO DREAM

Benny Goodman



Afraid to dream, afraid that you may not be there

Afraid to dream, without you it would seem so bare

With open arms I call to you, I want you, dear

Just as I reach for you, why do you disappear?

Afraid to dream; I'll see you there with someone new

Afraid to find another one caressing you

Although you promised me that this could never be

It's the thought of losing you that makes me so afraid to dream
