about

...waking one morning my dog, Mazie, was murmuring, wining, and quietly barking in that muffled way that dogs do when they dream..."If dogs can dream" came into my mind as a kind of 20's folk jazz style reminiscent of Leon Redbone..."If dogs can dream and fish can fly"...the narrator argues, "why can't I fantasize about this attractive woman who is utterly out of my league? because it's only gonna happen in my dreams."

lyrics

IF DOGS CAN DREAM
If dogs can dream and fish can fly
Then I can think about you any old time
You’re out of my league I must be out of my mind
But you’re under my skin—that ain’t no lie
If dogs can dream—so can I
I sent you a card to let you know how I feel
Just to let you know that my love is real
I got your reply—you said “No dice.”
At least you got back and you were somewhat nice
If dogs can dream so can I
If dogs can dream and fish can fly
If dogs can dream then so can I
And when I go to bed and close my eyes
I hug my pillow and fantasize
You’re in my arms and ain’t life grand?
I’m a happy boy and I’m a lucky man
If dogs can dream so can I
