All The Time
Lucky Millinder And His Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, what do you know, he smiled at me in my dreams last night
My dreams are getting better all the time
And, what do you know, he smiled at me in a different light
My dreams are getting better all the time

To think that we were strangers a couple of nights ago
And though it's a dream, I never dreamed he'd ever say hello
Oh, maybe tonight I'll hold him tight when the moonbeams shine
My dreams are getting better all the time

To think that we were strangers a couple of nights ago
And though it's a dream, I never dreamed he'd ever say hello




Oh, maybe tonight I'll hold him tight when the moonbeams shine
My dreams are getting better all the time

on Are You Ready?

You are the promised kiss of springtime
That makes the lonely winter seem long
You are the breathless hush of evening
That trembles on the brink of a lovely song

These are the lyrics to the song: "All the Things You Are", not to "Are You Ready?"
