Lester Young Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got a date with a dream
A dream divine
I've got a date with a dream
Who may be mine

I've got to hurry and dress
To meet him at seven
When any old corner becomes a corner
Of heaven, blue heaven

I'm gonna dance with a dream
We'll dance on air
I'm gonna speak to a dream
And tell him I care

And when the evening is over
I'll kiss him goodnight and then




I'll have a date with a dream
And meet him all over again
