Dreaming Lyrics

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.

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.

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 your very own;

Something you can have and hold.

I'd build a road in gold just to have some dreaming.

Dreaming is free.

I can't believe no one has commented on this yet. i really like this song...favorite line is the last dreaming is free, how true I also like I never met him, I'll never forget him it's like meeting someone and just "dreaming" what could be and how great it could be but never doing anything about it.....this hits close to home.

Here is a list of all the songs (that I know of) where you hear Darcy's voice...

Bury Me Daydream Cherub Rock Blew Away La Dolly Vita Jellybelly To Forgive Cupid De Locke Where Boys Fear To Tread Thirty Three 1979 We Only Come Out At Night Beautiful Farewell And Goodnight Dreaming Perfect Daphne Descends Shame Blank Page Raindrops + Sunshowers The Imploding Voice Blue Skies Bring Tears (Machina 1 Version)

I'm not sure about Bury Me...I heard somewhere that it was actually James, after eating a whole bunch of M&Ms and Twinkies, who was doing the "female" vocals.

Nina Gordon did sing on '...Said Sadly'... maybe floorpee got the two songs confused?

id just like to point out... D'arcy isn't singing in this song... the girl voice you hear is non other then Nina Gordon (shes awesome)

The song you are thinking of is "...said sadly" This song is from their first album, Gish.

No, you're thinking of 'Daydream', this is a Blondie cover from the Aeroplane Flies High box set.

that last reply was to Proyas, not floorpee by the way.
