Lyrics
Before we met I never dreamed much
It always seemed such a waste of time
But now I find my every night full
Of dreams delightful
And you’re the reason and the rhyme
Chorus:
Imagine me with my head on your shoulder
And you with your lips getting bolder
A sky full of moon and a sweet mellow tune
I’ll buy that dream
Imagine you in a gown white and flow’ry
And me thanking dad for your dowry
A churchful of folks and those last minute jokes
I’ll buy that dream
A honeymoon in Cairo in a brand new autogyro
Then home by rocket in a wink
We’ll settle down near Dallas
In a little plastic palace
It’s not as crazy as you think
Imagine me on our first anniversary
With someone like you in the nurs’ry
It doesn’t sound bad and if it can be had
I’ll buy that dream
