🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Dream, dream, dream, dream
  • Dream, dream, dream, dream
  • When I want you in my arms
  • When I want you and all your charms

Echo the hook

  • Anytime night or day
  • Only trouble is, gee whiz
  • I'm dreamin' my life away
  • I need you so that I could die
