(written by: Bert Kalmar, Harry Ruby & Oscar Hammerstein II)

Give me a kiss to build a dream on,
And my imagination will thrive upon that kiss
Sweetheart, I ask no more than this:
A kiss to build a dream on
Give me a kiss before you leave me,
And my imagination will feed my hungry heart
Leave me one thing before we part,
A kiss to build a dream on

When I'm alone with my fancies, I'll be with you,
Weaving romances, making believe they're true

Oh, give me your lips for just a moment,
And my imagination will make that moment live
Give me what you alone can give,
A kiss to build a dream on

When I'm alone with my fancies, I'll be with you,
Weaving romances, making believe they're true

Oh, give me your lips for just a moment,
And my imagination will make that moment live
Give me what you alone can give,
A kiss to build a dream on
Give me what you alone can give,
A kiss to build a dream on
