Dreams Can Tell a Lie - Nelson Riddle

Last night I had a dream of you

My heart began to cry

I saw you kissing someone new

But dreams can tell a lie

The moon was bright

He held you tight

I heard you softly sigh

Two silhouettes were swaying

What words were you saying?

No wonder I’ve been praying

That dreams can tell a lie!

For where there’s smoke you’ll find a fire

And in my dreams I saw the gleam of your desire!

Tonight we’ll meet along the street

And all my fears will fly

Your loving arms will hold me

And as they enfold me

Your kiss will soon have told me

That dreams can tell a lie

For where there’s smoke you’ll find a fire

And in my dreams I saw the gleam of your desire!

Tonight we’ll meet along the street

And all my fears will fly

Your loving arms will hold me

And as they enfold me

Your kiss will soon have told me

That dreams can tell a lie
