Deep In a Dream

Artie Shaw


I dim all the lights and I sink in my chair. 
The smoke from my cigarette climbs through the air. 
The walls of my room fade away in the blue, 
And I'm deep in a dream of you. 
The smoke makes a stairway for you to decend; 
You come to my arms, may this bliss never end, 
For we love anew just as we used to do 
When I'm deep in a dream of you. 
Then from the ceiling 
Sweet music comes stealing; 
We glide through a lover's refrain. 
You're so appealing 
That I'm soon revealing 
My love for you over again. 
My cigarette burns me, I wake with a start; 
My hand isn't hurt, but threr's pain in my heart. 
Awake or asleep, ev'ry mem'ry I'll keep 
Deep in a dream of you
