Man, That Was a Dream Songtext
von Carmen McRae

I dreamed of a life that was pure and true
I dreamed of a job only I could do
One man beside me, we′d be a team
Man, that was a dream

I knew it was music I had to play
I dreamed when I played, I would play my way
Too fast makin' children
Boo-boo and Toot
Dreams, that was a beaut

All through life, I′d be true
Fortune would come my way
Struggling and getting by
Tryin' to never lie
Meaning exactly what I say


I dreamed I had fame and a life sublime
I dreamed I made prints of the sands of time
Smack dab in the spotlight, bathed in its beam
Man, that was my dream

All through life, I'd be true
Fortune would come my way
Struggling and getting by
Tryin′ and never lie
Meaning exactly what I say

I dreamed I had fame and a life sublime
I dreamed I made prints of the sands of time
Smack dab in the spotlight, makin′ this wave
Man, that was my dream
Man, that was my dream
Man, that was my dream
