Everly Brothers – All I Have To Do Is Dream Lyrics

[Intro]
Dream, dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream, dream
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
Dream
[Chorus]
I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
I’m dreamin’ my life away
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
I can make you mine, taste your lips of wine
Anytime night or day
Only trouble is, gee whiz
I’m dreamin’ my life away
[Verse 3]
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, dream, dream, dream
