When I met you in the restaurant You could tell I was no debutante You asked me what's my pleasure A movie or a measure? I'll have a cup of tea and tell you of my dreaming Dreaming is free Oh, dreaming I don't want to live on charity Pleasure's real or is it fantasy? Reel to reel is living rarity People stop and stare at me We just walk on by We just keep on dreaming Dreaming is free Oh, dreaming Dreaming is free Feet, feet walking a two mile Meet meet, meet me at the turnstile I never met him, I'll never forget him Dream, dream, even for a little while Dream, dream, filling up an idle hour Fade away, radiate I sit by and watch the river flow I sit by and watch the traffic go Imagine something of our very own Something we can have and hold I'd build a road of gold just to have some dreaming Dreaming is free Oh, dreaming Dreaming is free
