Dexter Gordon
polka dots and moonbeams
A country dance was being held in a garden
I felt a bump and heard an Oh,
beg
your
pardon
Suddenly I saw polka dots and moonbeams
All around a pug-nosed dream
The music started and was I the perplexed one
I held my breath and said May
I
have
the
next
one?
In my frightened arms, polka dots and moonbeams
Sparkled on a pug-nosed dream
There were questions in the eyes of other dancers
As we floated over the floor
There were questions but my heart knew all the answers
And perhaps a few things more
Now in a cottage built of lilacs and laughter
I know the meaning of the words Ever
after
And I'll always see polka dots and moonbeams
When I kiss the pug-nosed dream
