About Dreamy Lady

"Dreamy Lady" is a 1975 single released by the British glam rock band T. Rex but credited to 'T. Rex Disco Party'. The track features on the 1976 album, Futuristic Dragon. Its B-side consists of covers of the songs "Do You Wanna Dance?", originally by Bobby Freeman, and "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay", originally by Otis Redding. The latter of these two covers is a Gloria Jones solo song, produced by Bolan. The single is notable for its dramatic departure from the 'T. Rex sound' and its disco influence. Demo versions of the song were performed in a reggae style. The single was in the UK Singles Chart charts for a total of five weeks, peaking at No. 30.

O dreamy lady 
Won`t you come 
To my bed 
Night is the right time 
To get acquainted with my head 
In my bed 

Star light is shinning 
Silver baby hold me tight 
Moon beams are twining 
In the portals of my sight 
You`re so right 

Na, na na na na na na na 
Na na na na na na 
Will you still love me 

Oh dreamy lady

T. Rex

T. Rex were a British rock band, formed in 1967 by singer/songwriter and guitarist Marc Bolan. The band formed as Tyrannosaurus Rex, releasing four underground folk albums under the name. Tony Visconti (their producer for several albums) claimed in a documentary on the band that he had taken to using the abbreviated term "T. Rex" as a shorthand, something that initially irritated Bolan, who gradually came around to the idea and officially shortened the band's name to "T. Rex" at roughly the same time they started having big hits (shortly after going electric). more »
