Lyrics
MONTREAL
(I Dream I'm Back With You In)
V1
On the bus I day-dreamed I was back in Montreal
I tried to hide the fact
I had a one-way fare
Gentle sleep would not come near
My early morning thoughts
You had made me want to be back there
(Rise)
Yes I recall the sparkle in your eyes
Our short aquaintance left me feelin' tall
The picture in my mind
just makes me sit and stare
I dream I'm back with you in Montreal
(Chorus)
Montreal
Montreal
I dream I'm back with you in Montreal
-oOo-
(V2)
Now I know how love could make my statue world go 'round
Dividing walls and highways seem to be the same
As the border guard allows me past beyond the gate
I am tryin' not to lose your name
(Rise)
(Chorus)
-oOo-
(V3)
If I was a giant I could step from Boston town
I could see Mount Royale there beside my tracks
Then I'd talk to you about a love at first sight
And I could walk beyond this cul-de-sac!
(Rise)
(Chorus)
Montreal
Montreal
I dream I'm back with you in Montreal
-oOo-
