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
