Lyrics
- I’ve been dreaming, I’ve been dreaming
I’ve been scheming, too
I hope my dreams come true
It all depends on you
I’m suspecting, I’m suspecting
That your eyes have seen
There’s something wrong with me
And you know what I mean
Refrain
Oh, I’m just crazy ’bout your kisses, honey
You know what I mean
For when your lips meet mine
I feel so funny
You know what I mean
You’re just a dream of loveliness
You surely know just how to dress
You play and sing, and everything
So different from the rest
I’d like to hear the preacher say that we are
You know what I mean
And in a year or so we both may have
A little Ford machine
We’ll find a little cottage where the roses bloom
With a parlor and a kitchen and a dining room
And a room upstairs
Where we’ll say our prayers
Oh, you know what I mean
- When we’re married, when we’re married
We’ll go down to Cook’s
Look through their tourist books
And pick some shady nooks
Then we’ll visit those exquisite
Tropic Island scenes
The kind you read about
In all the magazines
