transcribed by Pinter Denes dpinter@eik.bme.hu Lyrics: "Dreamer's Ball" (May) Oh I used to be your baby Used to be your pride and joy You used to take me dancing Just like any other boy But now you've found another partner You've left me like a broken toy Oh it's someone else you're taking Someone else you're playing to Honey though I'm aching Know just what I have to do If I can't have you when I'm waking I'll go to sleep and dream of you Oh take me take me take me To the dreamer's ball I'll be right on time and I'll dress so fine You're gonna love me when you see me I won't have to worry Take me take me Promise 'Till it's morning It's all been true Oh take me take me take me I'm your play thing now You make my life worthwhile With the slightest smile Or destroy me with a barely perceptible whisper Gently take me remember I'll be dreaming of my baby At the dreamer's ball Take me hold me Remember what you told me You'd meet me at the dreamer's ball I'll meet you at the dreamer's ball
