Well I've heard it said The grass is always greener We want what we can't have Or so it seems When I looked at you The world never looked any sweeter I go home to her And see you in my dreams So if you want someone To fill your waking hours With a love that is real Baby I'm still not free If you think you could fall For a telephone call And some flowers If you're dreamin' of someone You can dream of me When the stars are out Sometimes I still can remember The clear September night When we first met And through the fall I never looked at another Then the winter came How quickly we forget So if you want someone To fill your waking hours With a love that is real Baby I'm still not free If you think you could fall For a telephone call And some flowers If you're dreamin of someone You can dream of me Dream of me I'll be dreamin of you I'll never forget how you told me That your heart was taken too You said So if you want someone To fill your waking hours With a love that is real Baby I'm still not free If you think you could fall For a telephone call And some flowers If you're dreamin of someone You can dream of me I'll be dreaming of you babe, You can dream of me
