Title song from the film starring Ernie Kovacs and Dick Shawn.





If I am dreaming you've got your arms around me

Wake me when it's over

Wake me when it's over, not before



And if I'm dreaming that love at last has found me

Let me go on dreaming

Wake me when it's over and then let me go to sleep, mm, again



It's hard to believe, my dear, that you're here at all

Incredible, I pinch myself, you don't disappear at all

So if I'm hearing you tell some small-town justice you will not forsake me

Takin' vows to make me yours ever more

Then darling, wake me when it's over, and not before



Ooh, wake me when it's over

Wake me when it's over and then back to sleep again



It's hard to believe, my dear, that you're here at all

*Incra-DIE-able*, you don't disappear at all

So, tell that small-town justice you'll take me

Tell 'im you'll make me yours ever more

Then darling, wake me when it's over, not befo-o-o-o-ore!





TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: * Don't blame me. Andy DOES pronounce "incredible"
