2
Speaking of dreams
3
Here we are in the glistening streets of Gay Paree
4
Playing the Gipsy Kings
5
After the rain and taking tea at the Ritz in boots and jeans
6
With a teenage girl who said that it would be her grandest dream
7
And speaking of dreams, I really must say
8
I couldn't have dreamed you up
9
Nor the way you burst into my life, rattled my cage
10
And woke my sleeping demons up
11
You were not yet born
12
When my career began in '59
13
We're a sign of the times
14
Who cares if you are a breath of spring and I am vintage wine
15
We come from two different worlds
16
Like every other couple on the Rue de Rivoli
17
You spent your youth in the rainforests of distant Camaroon
18
Your father was a Navy captain, I am the Queen of Hearts
19
And the daughter of the moon
20
Speaking of dreams
21
You took me to see the paintings of Paul Gaughin
22
Speaking of dreams
23
We stood in the midst of waterfalls, flaming trees
24
Golden dogs and shining Tahitian ladies
25
But it was you, not Paul Gaughin
26
Who stopped my heart and then
27
Started my life over again
28
And if you feel as I do
29
That we've erased the lines between reality
30
And all our painted dreams
31
Then take me down to where the Gipsies sing
32
The songs their mothers knew
33
Tie bright ribbons in my hair
34
Lean on the wind and watch me while I dance for you
35
And carry me off to the rainforests of distant Camaroon
36
Tell me that you've always know that
37
I am the Queen of Hearts
38
And the daughter of the moon
