If You'd Stay The Way I Dream About You

If You'd Stay The Way I Dream About You - Carmen McRae

If you'd stay the way I dream about you

You'd be near every moment dear

But daydreams fly and time slips by

So very much alone am I

But if you'd stay the way I dream about you

You'd express longing tenderness

But when we meet

Although you're sweet

If you love me

You're not confessing

Dreming with lovers

And we belong you and I to one another

Morning discovers that I'm all wrong to you

I'm anyone of the many

If you'd stay the way I dream about you

Life would be simply heavenly

You full awake

And let me make your life one long dream with me

You fool awake and

Let me make your life one long dream with me
