Something I Dreamed Last Night
Jack Pleis and His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To have a laugh or share a tear with me.
It's all so wrong, it can't be right,
It must have been something I dreamed last night!
To never see your funny face again!
To never thrill to your embrace again!
Oh, it's so wrong it can't be right,
Those midnight suppers for two,
Our corny duets at dawn,
Those crazy moments with you,
Don't tell me that they are gone!
To never look into those eyes again,
The sun might just as well not rise again!
Oh no no, it can't be right,
It must have been something, something I dreamed last night!
