You know the dream I told you about the other day,
No, not the one that got me so upset
I mean the one I told you about that made me gay,
The one about the one that I dreamt I met

Well, what do you know
He smiled at me in my dreams last night
My dreams are getting better all the time

And what do you know
He looked at me in a different light
My dreams are getting better all the time

To think that we were strangers
A couple of nights ago
An' though it's a dream, I never dreamed
He'd ever say hello

Oh, maybe tonight I'll hold him tight
When the moonbeams shine
My dreams are getting better all the time

(Orchestral Break)

To think that we were strangers
A couple of nights ago
An' though it's a dream, I never dreamed
He'd ever say hello

Well, maybe tonight I'll hold him tight
When the moonbeams shine
My dreams are getting better all the time



**The end of the line "Oh, maybe tonight I'll hold him tight"
is sometimes changed to "Oh, maybe tonight he'll hold me tight"

As recorded by Perry Como & The Satisfiers:


Well, whatta ya know
She smiled at me in my dreams last night
My dreams are gettin' better all the time

An' whatta ya know
She looked at me in a different light
My dreams are gettin' better all the time

To think that we were strangers
A couple of nights ago,
An' though it's a dream, I never dreamed
She'd ever say hello

Oh, maybe tonight I'll hold her tight
When the moonbeams shine
My dreams are gettin' better all the time

(Well, whatta ya know)
(She smiled at him in his dreams last night)
My dreams are gettin' better all the time

(An' whatta ya know)
(She looked at him in a different light)
My dreams are gettin' better all the time

To think that we were strangers
A couple of nights ago
(An' though it's a dream, he never dreamed)
(She'd ever say hello)

Oh, maybe tonight I'll hold her tight
When the moonbeams shine
My dreams are gettin' better all the time

(His dreams are gettin' better all the time)
(Hmmm, hmmm, hmmm)
