My Reverie (Melody & Madness January 22, 1939) - Artie Shaw

Our love is a dream, but in my reverie I can see that this love was meant for me Only a poor fool, never schooled in the whirlpool Of romance could be so cruel as you are to me My dreams are as worthless as tin to me Without you, life will never begin to be So love me as I love you in my reverie Make my dream a reality, let's dispense with formality Come to me in my reverie Our love is a dream, but in my reverie I can see that this love was meant, meant for me Only a poor fool, never schooled in the whirlpool Of romance could be so cruel as you are to me My dreams are as worthless as tin to me Without you, life will never begin to be So love me as I love you in my reverie Make my dream a reality, let's dispense with formality Come to me in my reverie, come to me in my reverie

My Girl's mad at me I didn't wanna go see the film tonight I found it hard to say She thought I'd had enough of her Why can't she see She's lovely to me? But I like to stay in And watch TV on my own Every now and then My Girl's mad at me Been on the telephoncle for an hour We hardly said a word I tried and tried but I could not be heard Why can't I explain? Why do I feel this pain? 'Cause everything I say She doesn't understand She doesn't realise She takes it all the wrong way My Girl's mad at me We argued just the other night I thought we'd got it straight We talked and talked until it was light I thought we'd agreed I thought we'd talked it out Now when I try to speak She says that I don't care She says I'm unaware And now she says I'm weak
