THIS TIME THE DREAM’S ON ME
(Arlen / Mercer)
Bonnie Lake & Artie Shaw Orch. - 1941
 

Somewhere, someday, 
We’ll be close together, wait and see
Oh, by the way, this time the dream’s on me
You’ll take my hand 
And you’ll look at me adoringly
But if things stand, this time the dream’s on me

It would be fun to be certain 
That I’m the one
You know that I at least 
Supply the shoulder you cry upon
You’ll see, you grew 
Till you’re everything you want to be
It can’t be true, but
This time the dream’s on me
