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 dreamin'

Dreamin' is free

Dreamin', dreaming is free

I don't want to live on charity

Pleasure's real or is it fantasy?

Reel to reel is living verite

People stop and stare at me, we just walk on by

We just keep on dreamin'

Beat feet, walking a two-mile

Meet me, 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 dreamin'

Dreamin' is free

Dreamin', dreamin' is free

Dreamin', dreamin' is free

Dreamin', dreamin' is free
