DREAM MAN [Make Me Dream Some More]
Milton Ager (m) Joe Young (l)
as rec by Thomas "Fats" Waller & his Rhythm
March 6th 1934 New York
Was I dreamin'?
I must have been dreamin',
Dreamin' at heaven's door!
I saw my old love, eyes a-beamin';
If I was dreamin',
Dream man, make me dream some more!
Sweet lips kissed me,
And told me they missed me,
Missed me more than before!
I saw my old love light still gleamin';
If I was dreamin',
Dream man, dream dream some more!
Yes! Uh-huh!
Uh-huh!
Dreamin',
I'm dreamin',
Woman, get away from me,
I'm at heaven's door!
I ain't got no money for you this mornin'!
No, I don't saw my old love eyes a-beamin'!
Yeah!
What's that?
Oh woman, I'm dreamin',
Let me dream some more!
Get away from here!
Sweet lips done kissed me,
Then they told me how much they missed me,
Oh they missed me more than before!
Oh mercy, oh I see the love's still gleamin',
While I'm dreamin',
Landlady, let me dream some more, will ya?
Alright then!
Please go 'way and let me sleep,
Landlady, let me dream some more, yes yes!
