I Wish I Knew the Name of the Boy Songtext
von Dinah Washington

I wish I knew the name of the girl in my dreams
So I could change her name to mine
I walk down every street when the sun is bright
Hoping to meet the one I hold each night

So if you run into someone out of the blue
Tell her to drop me a line
I know her tender kiss, I know her sweet caress
But, huh, gosh darn it all, I don′t know her address

I wish I knew the name of the girl in my dreams
So I could change her name to mine


(I wish I knew the name of the girl in my dreams)
(So I could change her name to mine, to mine)
I walk down every street when the sun is bright
Hoping to meet the one I hold each night

(So if you run into someone out of the blue)
(Tell her to drop me a line, just a line)
I know her tender kiss, I know her sweet caress
But gosh darn it all, I don't know her address

I wish I knew the name of the girl in my dreams
So I could change her name, so it would be the same
So it would be the same as mine
