EVERLY BROTHERS - ALL I HAVE TO DO IS DREAM (1958)

Dream, dream dream dream, dream, dream dream dream

When I want you in my arms, when I want you and all your charms
Whenever I want you, all I have to do, is

Dream, dream dream dream

When I feel blue in the night, and I need you to hold me tight
Whenever I want you, all I have to do, is

I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine, any time, night or day
Only trouble is, gee wiz, I'm dreamin' my life away

I need you so that I could die, I love you so, and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do, is

Dream, dream dream dream, dream

I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine, any time, night or day
Only trouble is, gee wiz, I'm dreamin' my life away

I need you so that I could die, I love you so, and that is why
Whenever I want you, all I have to do, is

Dream, dream dream dream (repeats out)

 It was the Senior High School yearbook
The class of '63
I'll never forget the way you gave
Your book and pen to me
It was all talked out and settled
You new I'd understand
A girl with dreams as big as yours
Just had to make some plans

So I turned to your best picture
Most Likely To Succeed
The only one in the whole damn book
That didn't show you with me
And it said that you liked inner strenth
So I tried to be true to form
And I hid my teenage broken heart
Instead I signed this poem

I hope you always drive a Cadillac
I hope you always drink champagne
I hope you always shine with the sunshine
I hope you never have to face the rain
Unless the clouds are lined with silver
May every heart you meet be gold
And may you find the world as kind as you've been told

At the ten year class reunion
They read your personal note
And displayed your cover photograph
In your full length sable coat
But the words underneath the picture
Were what mattered most to me
There was something in between the lines
That no one else could see...

It said-
I always drive a Cadillac
I always drink champagne
And if you make time while the sun shines
You never have to face the rain
I travel fast because I go alone
Everybody gets bought and sold
And I wondered if you'd really become that cold

That was the last word anyone heard from you
Until I got your card today
A single line and signature
That said "I'm coming home to stay"
I wonder what life has done to you
I wonder why you thought of me
But if you stop by to say hello
I wonder what you'll think if you see

An old ragged high school yearbook
That falls open to just one page
With a picture of a young girl's face
Full of beauty, dreams and rage
But the words underneath the picture
Is the verse that's still so true
It's the one I swore no one would read
Unless I showed it to you

I hope you always drive a Cadillac
I hope you always drink champagne
And you'll carry my heart wherever you go
Even if I never see you again
But if you bring it back home to me
Maybe then it'll mean you know
That the strongest love's the love that let's you go...

 The lights shine down the valley
The wind blows up the alley
Oh, and how I wish I was
Lying in the arms of Mary

She took the pains of boyhood
And turned them into fell good
Oh, and how I wish was
Lying in the arms of Mary

Mary was the girl who taught me
All I had to know
She put me right on my first mistake
Summer wasn't gone when I'd learned
All she had to show
She really gave all a boy could take

So now when I feel lonely
Still looking for the one and only
That's when I wish I was
Lying in the arms of Mary

So now when I feel lonely
Still looking for the one and only
That's when I wish I was
Lying in the arms of Mary

Mary, Mary

Mary was the girl who taught me
All I had to know
She put me right on my first mistake
Summer wasn't gone when I'd learned
All she had to show
She really gave all a boy could take

The lights shine down the valley
The wind blows up the alley
Oh, and how wish I was
Lying in the arms of Mary
Lying in the arms of Mary
Lying in the arms of Mary
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Lying in the arms
Lying in the arms of Mary
Lying in the arms
Lying in the arms
Yeah, yeah, yeah

 Asleep
please oh please let me fall asleep
it's like heaven when I sleep
until morning I forget her

I lie awake in my lonely bed
in a room without a light
Trying hard to find a dream
that gets me through the night

But
sleep won't come
it's never there
since you're no longer mine
and sleep is such a precious thing
with your memory on my mind

Asleep
oh please let me fall asleep
it's so peaceful when I sleep
until morning nothing matters

Asleep
if I could only fall asleep
it's like heaven when I sleep
until morning I forget her

I hate to see the sun go down
and face another night
I watch the shadows climb the wall
as they try to catch the light

Asleep
oh please let me fall asleep...


Asleep
if I could only fall asleep
it's like heaven when I sleep
untill morning I forget her

Asleep
oh please let me fall asleep...

 Johnny is a joker [he’s a bird)]
A very funny joker [he’s a bird]
But when he jokes my honey [he’s a dog]
His jokin’ ain’t so funny [what a dog]
Johnny is a joker that’s a’tryin’ to steal my honey [he’s a bird dog]

Johnny sings a love song [like a bird]
He sings the sweetest love song [ya ever heard]
But when he sings to my gal [what a howl]
To me he’s just a wolf dog [on the prowl]
Johnny wants to fly away and puppy-love my baby [he’s a bird dog]

Hey, bird dog get away from my quail
Hey, bird dog you’re on the wrong trail
Bird dog you better leave my lovey-dove alone
Hey, bird dog get away from my chick
Hey, bird dog you better get away quick
Bird dog you better find a chicken little of your own

Johnny kissed the teacher [he’s a bird]
He tiptoed up to reach her [he’s a bird]
Well he’s the teacher’s pet now [he’s a dog]
What he wants he’s been gettin’ now [what a dog]
He even made the teacher let him sit next to my baby [he’s a bird dog]

Hey, bird dog get away from my quail
Hey, bird dog you’re on the wrong trail
Bird dog you better leave my lovey-dove alone
Hey, bird dog get away from my chick
Hey, bird dog you better get away quick
Bird dog you better find a chicken little of your own

FADE He’s a bird

 Living in the city where the walls have ears
People judge you by the words they hear
Shake their heads while they chew your name
And then they write it on a wall
People see you and they turn their heads
Whisper words you might have said
Point to a spot where you may have bled
Then they write it on a wall
He lost his mind today
She threw his clothes away
The love they thought would last just flew away
She lost her mind today
He threw her ring away
They act as if they were born yesterday
And I wonder whose heart hurts the worst
And who knows whose heart was broke first
No one gives them the love they need
Or helps them through their time of grief
After all, it could be you or me
We're just human after all
He lost his mind today
She threw his clothes away
The love they thought would last just flew away
She lost her mind today
He threw her ring away
They act as if they were born yesterday
And I wonder whose heart hurts the worst
And who knows whose heart was broke first
They lost their minds today
They threw their love away
They act as if they were born yesterday
They lost their love today
They threw it all away
They act as if they were born yesterday

 Way down in Bowling Green
Prettiest girls I've ever seen
A man in Kentucky
Sure is lucky
To live down in Bowling Green
Bowling Green folks treat you kind
They let you think your own mind
A man in Kentucky
Sure is lucky
In Bowling Green you walk your own line
Kentucky sunshine makes the heart unfold
It warms the body
And I know it touches the soul
Bluegrass is fine
Kentucky owns my mind
The fields down in Bowling Green
Have the softest grass i've ever seen
A man in Kentucky
Sure is lucky
To lie down in Bowling Green
Bowling Green girls treat you right
They wear dresses cut country tight
A man in Kentucky
Sure is lucky
If he's seen the Bowling Green light
Kentucky sunshine makes the heart unfold
It warms the body
And I know it touches the soul
Bluegrass is fine
Kentucky owns my mind
Bowling Green Bowling Green
Bowling Green Bowling Green
Bowling Green Bowling Green
Bowling Green Bowling Green

Bye bye love
Bye bye happiness, hello loneliness
I think I´m-a gonna cry-y
Bye bye love, bye bye sweet caress, hello emptiness

She sure looks happy, I sure am blue
She was my baby till he stepped in
Goodbye to romance that might have been

And here´s the reason that I´m so free
My lovin´ baby is through with me
