Benny Goodman
 - words by Eddie Delange, music by Jimmy Van Heusen

 Darn that dream I dream each night
 You say you love me and you hold me tight
 But when I awake, you're out of sight
 Oh, darn that dream

 Darn your lips and darn your eyes
 They lift me high above the moonlit skies
 Then I tumble out of paradise
 Oh, darn that dream

 Darn that one-track mind of mine
 I can't understand that you don't care
 Just to change the mood I'm in
 I'd welcome a nice old nightmare

 Darn that dream and bless it too
 Without that dream, I never would have you
 But it haunts me and it won't come true
 Oh, darn that dream
