You Dreamer You Songtext
von Johnny Cash

You dreamer you

Well I dreamed I walked in a field of flowers
(Oh, what a dream)
The houses all were silver towers
(Oh, what a dream)

Beside the road an angel sat
I said hello and tipped my hat
And stopped when I saw her smile
And set me down a while
I set me down a while
(You dreamer you)

Well I tried the angel for a kiss
(Oh, what a dream)
But she turned away and my lips missed
(Oh, what a dream)


She said, "Sir, I′ll have you know
I met you just a while ago
You're welcome for to sit
But calm yourself a bit, sir
Calm yourself a bit
(You dreamer you)
(You dreamer you)

I fell in love like one, two, three
(Oh, what a dream)
I asked the angel to marry me
(Oh, what a dream)

She said, "Sir, I can′t marry you,
But I'm a dream that can come true
There are dreams of much my worth
That live upon the earth, sir
Live upon the earth
(You dreamer you)
(You dreamer you)

Then I awoke and found my love
(Oh, what a dream)
As heavenly as the one above
(Oh, what a dream)


We'll marry in a sea of flowers
Home will be a silver tower
There′ll be heaven in my life
With an angel for a wife
With an angel for a wife
(You dreamer you)
