Dreaming

When I met you in the restaurant            
you could tell I was no debutante.             
You asked me what's my pleasure,             
"A movie or a measure"?             
I'll have a cup of tea and tell you of my dreaming.             
Dreaming is free.             
I don't want to live on charity.             
Pleasure's real or is it fantasy?             
Reel to reel is living rarity.             
People stop and stare at me,             
We just walk on by; we just keep on dreaming.             
Feet feet: walking a two mile.             
Meet meet: meet me at the turnstile.             
I never met him, I'll never forget him.             
Dream dream: even for a little while.             
Dream dream: filling up an idle hour.             
Fade away, radiate.             
I sit by and watch the river flow.             
I sit by and watch the traffic go.             
Imagine something of your very own;             
Something you can have and hold.             
I'd build a road in gold just to have some dreaming.             
Dreaming is free.
