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 all my dreaming, dreaming is free   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   Dreaming, dreaming is free   Dreaming, dreaming is free   Dreaming is free
