Writer(s): cahn/styne I can see a steeple - surrounded by people Oh how real it all starts to seem Just as the choir is singing - my alarm starts ringing It's the same old dream And then my thoughts inspire - a scene by a fire In a cottage close by a stream I know it all by heart now - we're about to part now It's the same old dream If you but knew How many times I pretend - that I'm with you I'm sure your heart would unbend - you'd see me through Until my dream had a happy ending And I can picture clearly - the things I love dearly In the center you reign supreme We kiss and I discover - I'm a lonesome lover It's the same old dream
