I dim all the lights
and I sink in my chair.
The smoke from my cigarette
climbs through the air.
The walls of my room
fade away in the blue,
And I'm deep in a dream of you.
The smoke makes a stairway
for you to descend;
You come to my arms,
may this bliss never end,
For we love anew
just as we used to do
When I'm deep in a dream of you.
Then from the ceiling,
sweet music comes stealing;
We glide through a lover's refrain,
you're so appealing
That I'm soon revealing my love
for you over again.
My cigarette burns me,
I wake with a start;
My hand isn't hurt,
but there's pain in my heart.
Awake or asleep,
ev'ry mem'ry I'll keep
Deep in a dream of you.
