I see the moon shining through my window
As I shut off the light
In silence my head lies upon my cold pillow
The tiredness I refuse to fight
My mind begins to wander
To places near and far
I’m golfing at St Andrew’s
Drinking at a Key West bar

I look forward to my dreams
Because they take me to places
That I have never seen
There’s fun and sun
And lots of rum
Some things perhaps a bit obscene
But the one thing that’s always missing
In this mind filled scene
The lady I have longed for
The woman of my dreams

I dream of the night when I lay me down to sleep
That God answers my same old prayer
For someone to keep
To have and to hold
In waters o’ so deep
Who whispers words so softly
Kisses o’ so sweet
Brings me down on bended knee
And makes this old man weep
