Dream, dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream
When I want you in my arms
When I want you and all your charms
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dream, dream, dream, dream
When I feel blue in the night
And I need you to hold me tight
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dream
I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
I’m dreamin’ my life away
I need you so that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dream, dream, dream, dream
Dream
I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
I’m dreamin’ my life away
I need you so that I could die
I love you so and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do is
Dream, dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream
I remember it well and sung it all the time.
What a duo!! Their harmony was unmatched and they were one of my favorites. The Kingston Trio was another great group. Elvis was my favorite.

Oh yes. What a cool number that was, and still is in those of us old enough to remember them. I loved to hear that song, and could listen to it I over and over and over again.
Such a great duo. Their harmony was over the top and they were one of my favorites. The Kingston Trio was another and Elvis was at the top.
