[Intro: Judy Holiday] So that's what you look like At last, I know [Verse 1: Judy Holiday] You're better, better than a dream What you are is better far than a dream I tried to picture your face but now I see You're out of this world, you're out of this sphere You're out of that outer space [Chorus: Judy Holiday] Better, better than a dream What is real is more ideal than a dream To see and hear you, to be so near you It's better, better than a dream [Verse 2: Dean Martin] Can this be a dream? Can I still be asleep on the couch there? Can this girl be really here? She seems to know by sheer intuition How I landed in this condition Or does she know me? The way I think, the way that I drink The fact that I slept all year [Chorus: Dean Martin] But it's not a dream 'Cause look, I've got some words on the paper Steady boy, don't faint or scream Don't ask who sent you this angel It's better, better than a dream [Bridge: Judy Holiday & Dean Martin] It's better (Can this be a dream?) Better than a dream (Can I still be asleep on the couch there?) (Can this girl be really here?) What you are is better fine than a dream I tried to picture your face (She seems to know by sheer intuition) (How I landed in this condition) But now I see (Or does she know me?) (And the way that I think, the way that I drink) You're out of this world, you're out of this sphere (The fact that I slept out here) You're out of that outer space [Chorus: Judy Holiday, Dean Martin & Both] Better, better than a dream (But it's not a dream) ('Cause look, I've got some words on the paper) What is real is more ideal than a dream (Steady boy, don't faint or scream) To see and hear you, to be so near you (Don't ask who sent you this angel) It's better, better than a dream
