Where the elite always meet Down in New Orleans, the land of dreams Or just how much it really means The land of dreams where I can lose My Basin Street blues Now won't you come along with me To the Mississippi? We'll take a trip to the land of dreams

Wanna feel what's in your heart pressed against your lips Set this room on fire with a long wet kiss Wanna take you in my arms wrap you in romance Wanna midnight slow dance I've been watchin' you for hours You've been lookin' my way too Maybe I'll just

Homesick tired All alone in a big city Why should ev'rybody pity me, Nighttime's falling, folks are a singin', they dance till break of day Dear Old Southland with it's dreamy songs Takes me back there where I belong How I'd love to be in mammy's arms

Shake it baby Boom boom boom boom You knock me out Right off of my feet C'mon, c'mon Gonna shoot you right down Take you in my arms I'm in love with you Love that is true I like the way you walk

Oh you take me to Nirvana I don't think this will last But you're here in my arms It's too late to run away from it all It's too late to get away from it all I'm done with running so I give in to you This moment has passed Hurry up, show resulting you

Take my hand Let's walk through love's door And be free from the world once more Here's my arms We can hide today And love the world away Every now and then When the world steps in Stealin' all our time away

There ain't nothin' common 'bout us In this ordinary world Where nothin' is enough Everything is grey Mistake your love for lust When I hold you in my arms I will die if I don't try Damned if I ask why This is somethin' real

And baby when I'm through Than I ever got from you I'll take the legs from some old table I'll take the arms from some old chair I'll take the neck from some old bottle And from a horse I'll take the hair I'll take the hands and face from some old clock

And you know my heart, well it's waiting for your call Won't you take your time on me? (Take your time on me) 'Cause we got nowhere else to be You fall in my arms Baby won't you let your phone keep ringing Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Take me into your loving arms Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars I'm thinking out loud Place your head on my beating heart When your legs don't work like they used to before And I can't sweep you off of your feet Will your mouth still remember
