I'll Never Have to Dream Again - Ruth Etting

If I should wake and find your arms around me

I know I’ll never have to dream again

If I should wake and feel your lips surrender to mine

I’d just be wasting precious time in dreaming

In all my dreams it seems that you are near, dear

But when I wake, you always disappear

If I should wake to hear you say you’ll always remain

That’s when I’ll never have to dream again

In my dreams, you come to me like a phantom melody

Now you’re here and with the dawn you’re gone

Dream boy, will you ever be mine in all reality?

When can I stop dreaming on and on?

If I should wake and find your arms around me

Why, I’ll know I’ll never dream again

If I should feel your lips surrender to mine

I’d just be wasting time in dreaming

In all my dreams when you are near me

But then you always disappear

If I should hear you say you’ll always remain

That’s when I’ll never have to dream

Never have to dream again
