(Van Morrison)

(Opening applause)

Announcer: "These Dreams of You"
Van: Thank you

(One, two, three, four)

Dreamed you paid your dues in Canada
Left me to come through
Headed for there right away
Knew exactly just what to do

Hid my face against the sun
You pointed out for me to go
When I thought I wasn't wanted
Had to reap what you did sow

These dreams of you
So real an' so true
These dreams of you
So real an' so true

Back was up against the wall
An' ya slowly walked away
Never, ever heard the call
When ya cried out that way

When we played cards in the dark
You lost an' you lied
Wasn't very hard to do
Hurt you deep down inside

These dreams of you
So real an' so true
These dreams of you
So real an' so true

But, hush-a-bye
Don't ever think about it
Go to sleep don't ever say one word
Close your eyes you are an angel
Sent here from above

Alright!

(Instrumental & horns solo)

Ray Charles, was shot down
Ray got up ta,do his best
Crowd-a people gathered 'round
To the question an' said 'yes'

You slapped me in the face
I turned 'round the other cheek
Couldn't really stand the pace
I would never, never, never, never, never
Be so meek

These dreams of you
So real an' so true
These dreams of you
So real an' so true

But, hush-a-bye
Don't ever think about it
Go to sleep don't ever say-a one word
Close your eyes you are an angel
Sent here from above

An' hush-a-bye
Don't ever think about it
Go to sleep don't ever say-a one word
Close your eyes you are an angel
Sent here from above.

Announcer says:
