Somebody Else's Dream Lyrics - The Divine One - Sarah Vaughan

Her momma's still got that sequin gown that she wore in '68 

She taught her early how to smile that smile and wave from the parade 

It took a whole lot of years and tears 

For her momma to finally admit 

No matter how many stitches and pins 

That old dress was never gonna fit 

She was daddy's little girl 

Momma's little angel 

Teacher's pet, pageant queen 

She said "All my life I've been pleasin' everyone but me, 

Waking up in someone else's dream"

Her daddy used to say, "You'll make a lovely bride someday 

He'll ride up on big white horse and just carry you away" 

It took twenty-five years and some broken vows 

Before they'd finally see 

There's a little more to love and life 

Then fairy tales and hand me down dreams 

She was daddy's little girl 

Momma's little angel 

Teacher's pet, pageant queen 

She said "All my life I've been pleasin' everyone but me, 

Waking up in someone else's dream" 

Now she's got twenty-seven candles on her cake 

And she means to make her life her own 

Before there's twenty-eight 

She was daddy's little girl 

Momma's little angel 

Teacher's pet, pageant queen 

She said "All my life I've been pleasin' everyone but me, 

Waking up in someone else's dream"
