Best Dream
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I think it must be the best dream I've ever had,
To be with you on such a starry night it can't be surpassed,
And after all the other kids my friends have dated with,
By far baby, the best of all is you.
Aint there no-one else around to love me when I'm down,
and not treat me like a fool and wouldn't be so cruel to leave me?
And I think it was almost the dream of dreams,
To be with you so high and so finally,
I'll forget the other girls that I have in my dreams,
'cause by far baby, the best of all is you.
Aint there no-one else around to love me when I'm down,
and not treat me like a fool and wouldn't be so cruel to leave me?
Solo
Aint there no-one else around to love me when I'm down,
and not treat me like a fool and wouldn't be so cruel to leave me?
