Underneath a hot blue sky in July, I’m dreaming
Up on a roof in a palace of bamboo, you’re smiling
You have taken my gift and you placed it near your heart
You kissed me and said "Now, we’ll never be apart"
But tomorrow when I rise you’ll be heading somewhere new
And I’ll wake up from this dream in another day without you
Walking through the streets of Little Italy singing "Joey"
Walking with my arm around your waist, slowly
I don’t want to rush these steps, I don’t want to leave ‘em in the past
I want to savor this night, want to make each moment last
‘cause tomorrow when I rise I’ll be heading somewhere new
And I’ll wake up from this dream in another day without you
Another day without you, I long to be by your side
Another day without you, while you wait with your arms open wide
You know it drives me crazy when I see you lying there
And the dawn breaks
Then I go walking by the river looking for a sign
As my heart aches
If you’re coming back to me, don’t let me wait too long
But if you’ve gone away for good, I still got my song
Now tomorrow when we rise we’ll be heading somewhere new
We’ll wake up from this dream in another day without you
