Louis Armstrong
A Kiss To Build A Dream On (Live At The BBC)
[Spoken intro]
Er, we gonna do a number for you that we did in the picture called The Strip. It's our recording of Kiss to Build a Dream on
[Verse 1]
Yes, give me a kiss to build a dream on
And my imagination will thrive upon that kiss
Sweetheart, I ask no more than this
A kiss to build a dream on, yes
[Verse 2]
Give me a kiss before you leave me
And my imagination will feed my hungry heart
Leave me one thing before we part
A kiss to build a dream on
[Bridge]
When I'm alone with my fancies
I'll be with you
Weaving romances
Making believе they're true
[Verse 3]
Babе, give me your lips for just a moment
And my imagination will make that moment live
Give me what you alone can give
A kiss to build a dream on
[Trumpet led instrumental Half-Chorus]
[Bridge]
When I'm alone with my fancies
Yes, I'll be with you
Oh, weaving romances
Ya-ta-ta, making believe they're true
[Verse 3]
Yeah, lend me your chops for just a moment
And my imagination will make that moment live, yes
Give me what you alone can give
A kiss to build a dream on
