DARN THAT DREAM

Benny Goodman

- words by Eddie Delange, music by Jimmy Van Heusen



Darn that dream I dream each night

You say you love me and you hold me tight

But when I awake, you're out of sight

Oh, darn that dream



Darn your lips and darn your eyes

They lift me high above the moonlit skies

Then I tumble out of paradise

Oh, darn that dream



Darn that one-track mind of mine

I can't understand that you don't care

Just to change the mood I'm in

I'd welcome a nice old nightmare



Darn that dream and bless it too

Without that dream, I never would have you

But it haunts me and it won't come true

Oh, darn that dream
