JUST A DREAM
Broonzy

as rec by Marian Montgomery w Orch cond by Dave Cavanaugh  
August 1964 Hollywood


I dreamed I starred in pictures,
I starred on TV too!
I dreamed I made so much money
I did not know what to do!

But it was a dream,
Lord, what a dream I had on my mind!
Oh, when I woke up this mornin',
Not a penny could I find!

I dreamed I was in the White House,
Sittin' in the President's chair;
I dreamed he's shakin' my hand and sayin',
"Marian, we are glad you are here!".

But it was a dream,
Lord, what a dream I had, oh whee!
'Cause when I woke up this mornin',
There was no-one here but me!

I say I dreamed Louella loved me,
And Walter Winchell too!
They wrote down in their columns,
"Honey, no-one is better than you!".

But it was just a dream,
just one of those things!
And when I woke up this mornin',
Their columns said, "Some lady sings"!

I dreamed nobody loved me,
I dreamed nobody cared,
I dreamed that I was all alone;
Believe me, I was scared!

But it was just a dream,
I am so xxx? in this world!
'Cause when I woke up this mornin',
I knew I was a lucky, lucky, lucky girl!
I knew I was a lucky lucky girl!
