Susans Dream versuri

Susans Dream lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner, Kaye Ballard

Chorus
Susan, she had a husband man to make a home for
Made it shine because she loved him so
Susan got lucky with the Lord and had some children
Gave ‘em all her heart to help ‘em grow
But now and then her man went drinkin’
The kids got sick and cried ‘til morn
And now and then Susan, oh Susan
Plumb got tired of home and livin’
And began to wish she’d not been born
Yes, she did
She wished she’d not been born

Verse
And then one night she was all wearied out
The kids had worn her ragged and her man was not about
And she flopped on her knees by the side of her bed
And she wiped her flaming eyes and looked up and said
„Oh, God, let me sleep and when I sleep let me see
A heavenly dream of the way life could be
That’s all that I want, so do that for me
When I sleep let me dream of the way life should be”
Then she got into bed and her achin’ slipped away
And soon she was asleep when she heard a voice say
„Susan, oh Susan, I heard you pray
Susan, oh Susan, you shall have your way
There’s good in your soul and so you shall see
The dream that you want of the way life should be”

Chorus
And Susan then dreamed she had a man to make a home for
Made it shine because she loved him so
Susan, she dreamed she had a pair of angel children
Gave ‘em all her heart to help ‘em grow
And now and then her man went drinkin’
The kids got sick and acted bad
And suddenly Susan woke up
And with a sob she started smilin’
And she felt no longer blue and sad
Susan dreamed exactly what she had
