I’d Rather Have A Memory Than A Dream
I'd rather have a memory than a dream
For then I'd learn what heaven's all about
There'd be an angel in my arms
You fit right in the seat
And then my heart could
Just keep singing out!
I'd rather have your kisses than a smile
For then there'd be the magic of romance
The thrill of being all your own
Yes even for a while
Is something I'd be brave enough to chance!
For dreams are just imagination
While memories are as real as you
And I've enough imagination
To wish that all my dreams come true!
I'd rather have you near me than apart
For then you'd know exactly what I mean
But when I'm far away from
Here and long for you, sweetheart
I'd rather have a memory than a dream!
I'd rather have a memory than a dream!
