Dream, I dream a dream of you A tiny dancer in a field of blue A pointed toe Tchaikovsky play To bend you down so lowly It's your raven hair that makes me mad Your insane eyes that make me sad The California feeling and the Mississippi smile That makes me come on slowly It's trying to be real cool and soft So I won't take the chance and turn you...Learn More
