Speaking Of Dreams |
| Speaking of dreams |
| Here we are in the glistening streets of Gay Paree |
| Playing the Gipsy Kings |
| After the rain and taking tea at the Ritz in boots and jeans |
| With a teenage girl who said that it would be her grandest dream |
| And speaking of dreams, I really must say |
| I couldn’t have dreamed you up |
| Nor the way you burst into my life, rattled my cage |
| And woke my sleeping demons up |
| You were not yet born |
| When my career began in '59 |
| We’re a sign of the times |
| Who cares if you are a breath of spring and I am vintage wine |
| We come from two different worlds |
| Like every other couple on the Rue de Rivoli |
| You spent your youth in the rainforests of distant Camaroon |
| Your father was a Navy captain, I am the Queen of Hearts |
| And the daughter of the moon |
| Speaking of dreams |
| You took me to see the paintings of Paul Gaughin |
| Speaking of dreams |
| We stood in the midst of waterfalls, flaming trees |
| Golden dogs and shining Tahitian ladies |
| But it was you, not Paul Gaughin |
| Who stopped my heart and then |
| Started my life over again |
| And if you feel as I do |
| That we’ve erased the lines between reality |
| And all our painted dreams |
| Then take me down to where the Gipsies sing |
| The songs their mothers knew |
| Tie bright ribbons in my hair |
| Lean on the wind and watch me while I dance for you |
| And carry me off to the rainforests of distant Camaroon |
| Tell me that you’ve always know that |
| I am the Queen of Hearts |
| And the daughter of the moon |
