"This Time the Dream's on Me" is a song composed by Harold
Arlen
, with lyrics by
Johnny Mercer. It
was
written for the 1941 film Blues
in the Night
.
Somewhere, someday
We'll be close together, wait and see
Oh by the
way,
This time the dream's on me

You take my hand

and you look at
me adoringly
But as things stand
This time the dream's on me

It
would be fun

To be certain that I'm the one
To know that I, at least,
supply the shoulder you cry upon

To see you through

Till you're
everything you want to be
It can't be true, but
This time the dream's on
me

(bridge)


It would be fun

To be certain that I'm the
one
To know that I, at least, supply the shoulder you cry upon

To see
you through

Till you're everything you want to be
It can't be true,
but
This time the dream's on me

Johnny Mercer was a genius lyricist. He wrote a few good tunes, too. This particular song isn't one of my favorites, but you can't win them all.
