Stay out of my dreams

Stay out of my dreams

As long as you won't come into my arms

Stay out of my dreams.


Why should I spend each night

Dreaming of lips, lips that invite

Either let me have those lips

Or leave me along.


Each minute or two, I wake up so blue

I dreamed that you're out, you're going about

With somebody new.


When I love you, you know

Why do you torture me so

Stay out of my dreams

Or else come into my arms.


Notes:

Tin Pan Alley'. Her first published song was  STARLIGHT (HELP ME FIND

THE ONE I LOVE). She contributed

a number of standards in her career, among them,  LULLABY OF THE LEAVES and 
CLOSE YOUR EYES
