This Time The Dream's On Me
Johnny Mercer (w), Harold Arlen (m)
Blues In The Night, 1941
REFRAIN 1
Somewhere, someday
We'll be close together, wait and see
Oh by the way,
This time the dream's on me.
REFRAIN 2
You'll take my hand
And you'll look at me adoringly,
But as things stand,
This time the dream's on me.
REFRAIN 3
It would be fun
To be certain that I'm the one
To know that I, at least,
Supply the shoulder you cry upon.
REFRAIN 4
To see you through
Till you're everything you want to be,
It can't be true, but
This time the dream's on me.
