I can dream, can't i?
The andrews sisters- words by irving kahal, music by sammy fain- introduced in the 1938 musical "right this way" by a singer known as tamara.
This was the same musical that featured "i'll be seeing you" which went on to become a world war ii standard.- lyrics as recorded july 15, 1949 by the andrews sisters with gordon jenkins and his orchestra.
Lead vocal by patty andrews with maxene and laverne on backup vocals.(dream on, dream on)i can seeno matter how near you'll beyou'll never belong to mebut i can dream, can't i?
Can't i pretend that i'm locked in the bend of your embrace?
For dreams are just like wineand i am drunk with minei'm awaremy heart is a sad affairthere's much disillusion therebut i can dream, can't i?
Can't i adore youalthough we are oceans apart?
I can't make you open your heartbut i can dream, can't i?
I'm awaremy heart is a sad affairthere's much disillusion therebut i can dream, can't i?
Can't i adore youalthough we are oceans apart?
I can't make you open your heartbut i can dream, can't i?(dream on, dream on, dream on)
