JUST ANOTHER DREAM GONE WRONG
(E.Y. Harburg / Peter DeRose)


Lee Morse (feat. in the short film "Song Service") - 1930





Me and my shadow, two of a kind
Trying to find the sunshine
Both of us seeking, only to find
Living is just a blind

Like a dream you had me heaven bound
Like a dream you came along
Then I woke and found
Just another dream gone wrong

Happiness was just a wind I caught
With a net that wasn't strong
While ev'ry dream I sought
Just seemed another dream gone wrong

Though you're an angel or sinner
It's all the same, you've got to lose
There is no winner, life is a game
Ending with blues

I heard a love song from a rainbow's crest
Came the dawn and here's the song
Life's a dream at best
Just another dream gone wrong

Like a dream you had me heaven bound
Like a dream you came along
Then I woke and found
Just another dream gone wrong

Happiness was just a wind I caught
With a net that wasn't strong
And ev'ry dream I sought
Just seemed another dream gone wrong

Though you're an angel or sinner
Why, it's all the same, you've got to lose
There is no winner and life's just a game
Ending with the blues

I heard a love song from a rainbow's crest
Came the dawn and here's the song
Why, life's just a dream at best
Just another dream gone wrong
Just another dream gone wrong
