A dreamer of pictures I run in the night You see us together, Chasing the moonlight, My cinnamon girl. Ten silver saxes, A bass with a bow The drummer relaxes And waits between shows For his cinnamon girl. A dreamer of pictures I run in the night You see us together, Chasing the moonlight, My cinnamon girl. Pa sent me money now I'm gonna make it somehow I need another chance You see your baby loves to dance
