"It Shouldn't Happen To A Dream" lyrics

"It Shouldn't Happen To A Dream"

Millions of stars playing tag in the skies
All of my hopes living right in your eyes
So much at stake, and then I wake up
It shouldn't of happened
It shouldn't of happened to a dream

Light-fingered clouds tuck the moon into bed
I feel your lips stand my heart on its head
Then comes the ache, again I wake up
Lawd, it shouldn't happen to a dream

The flowers get happy and dance down the lane
The darkness no longer is deep
We're meant for each other, it's perfectly plain
Each time you walk in my sleep

Here comes the night cutting capers again;
Oh, just for a while you'll be with me, and then
The bubble will break, again I'll wake up
And it shouldn't happen to a dream

No it shouldn't, no it shouldn't
No it shouldn't happen to a dream


Writer(s): Duke Ellington, Johnny Hodges, Don George
