Lyrics
I wish the clock would tick faster
I wish the weary day would hurry by
I wish the sun would start to leave the sky
For I’ll be happy when the moon is high, for
Chorus:
I’ve got a date with a dream, a dream divine
I’ve got a date with a dream who may be mine
I’ve got to hurry and dress to meet her at seven
Then any old corner becomes
A corner of heaven, blue heaven
I’m gonna dance with a dream, we’ll dance on air
I’m gonna speak to a dream and tell her I care
And when the evening is over
I’ll kiss her goodnight and then
I’ll have a date with a dream
And meet her all over again
