Lyrics

DREAMIN' LIKE A DOG (about the singer's father)
Words and Music by Daniel Curzon
Copyright 1997

VERSE #1:
OLD SPORT IS LYIN' BY THE FIRE,
PAWS A-TWITCHIN', TWITCHIN' WITH DESIRE.
HIS MUZZLE'S GRAY NOW.
SOMETIMES HE LIMPS A BIT.
WHEN I THROW HIS RUBBER BALL,
HE WON'T RUN AFTER IT.

CHORUS:
I CAN HEAR HIM
DREAMIN' LIKE A DOG:
THERE'S THAT RABBIT AGAIN,
HEADIN' WHERE THE WOODS BEGIN.
THIS TIME I'LL CATCH HIM,
THIS TIME I WILL.
I CAN SEE HIM IN THE SUN!
HE'LL BE SUPPER
BEFORE MY DAY IS DONE.

VERSE #2:
OLD SPORT IS SLEEPIN' ON MY BED,
PAWS A-TWITCHIN', TWITCHIN' NEAR HIS HEAD.
HIS TONGUE LOLLS OUT NOW.
SOMETIMES YOU HEAR HIM SNORE.
STILL GOES FOR WALKS, HE DOES.
SLOW GETTIN' TO THE DOOR.

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE #3:
MY DAD’S RESTIN' IN HIS CHAIR,
PAWS A-TWITCHIN', TWITCHIN' IN THE AIR.
HIS MUZZLE'S GRAY NOW--
NO, NOTHIN' BUT WHITE FUZZ.
WHEN HE WALKS OLD SPORT AT NIGHT,
HE'S SLOWER THAN HE WAS.

REPEAT CHORUS
REPEAT CHORUS (more slowly at the end)
