-------------------------------------------
I dim all the lights and I sink
in my chair.
The smoke from my cigarette
climbs through the air.
The walls of my room fade away
in the blue,
And I'm deep in a dream of you.
The smoke makes a stairway for
you to descend;
You come to my arms, may this
bliss never end,
For we love anew just as we used
to do
When I'm deep in a dream of you.
Then from the ceiling, sweet
music comes stealing;
We glide through a lover's
refrain, you're so appealing
That I'm soon revealing my love
for you over again.
My cigarette burns me, I wake
with a start;
My hand isn't hurt, but there's
pain in my heart.
Awake or asleep, ev'ry mem'ry
I'll keep
Deep in a dream of you.
