DREAMS CAN TELL A LIE
Harold Cornelius / Barnes

as rec by Nat "King" Cole  
Dec 20th 1955 Hollywood



Last night I had a dream of you,
My heart began to cry;
I saw you kissing someone new,
But dreams can tell a lie.

The moon was bright,
He held you tight,
I heard you softly sigh.
Two silhouettes were swaying,
What words were you saying?
No wonder I've been praying
That dreams can tell a lie!

For where there's smoke you'll find a fire,
And in my dreams I saw the gleam of your desire!

Tonight we'll meet along the street
And all my fears will fly;
Your loving arms will hold me,
And as they enfold me,
Your kiss will soon have told me
That dreams can tell a lie.

For where there's smoke you'll find a fire,
And in my dreams I saw the gleam of your desire!

Tonight we'll meet along the street
And all my fears will fly;
Your loving arms will hold me,
And as they enfold me,
Your kiss will soon have told me
That dreams can tell a lie.
