WHEN I DREAM I ALWAYS DREAM OF YOU
Arthur Altman (m)  Dick Manning (l)

as rec by Kitty Kallen w Harry James & his Orch  
March 12th 1952 Hollywood


I never run when I can walk,
I never walk when I can sit me down.
I never sit me down when I can go to sleep,
'Cause when I sleep I always dream,
And when I dream I always dream of you!

I never swim when I can float,
I never float when I can sail a boat.
I never sail a boat when I can drift and dream,
'Cause when I drift I always dream,
And when I dream I always dream of you!

And there you are, a million stars above you,
And that's how many times I say I love you!

I never talk when I can sing,
I never sing when I can kiss your lips,
And when I kiss your lips I always close my eyes,
And when I close my eyes I dream,
And when I dream I always dream of you!

And when I kiss your lips I always close my eyes,
And when I close my eyes I dream,
And when I dream I always dream of you!
I dream of you!
