lyrics

Dreaming Of Toronto

I’ve travelled north to Cruel Alaska; I’ve travelled south to the Yuma sands
But, girl, I’m dreaming of Toronto and Canada - my true heart’s land.

I’ve travelled west to California; I’ve travelled east to old Cape Cod
Now I’m dreaming of Toronto, I’ll never leave again - I swear to God.

I’ve travelled many different places, In search of dreams that turned to dust
But now I’m dreaming of Toronto and better days for the both of us.

Chorus
Oh Canada you know I never spurned you
You stayed with me down all the years
You kept me believing through the bad times
In cities where men live by the sneer.

I’ve known the Cool winds of Chicago; I’ve known the Cruel winds of Mexico
But now I’m dreaming of Toronto and the girl who’d never let me go.

I’ve known the broken streets of Vegas where every night’s a losing game
And I’ve lived in New York City where no man ever knew my name.

Chorus

(Instrumental)

Chorus

Casa Loma are you still standing under the gentle, falling snow?
And do the wild geese keep on calling across the mighty Lake Ontario?

So let The Maple Leaf keep riding to Canada, where you wait for me
Girl, I’m dreaming of Toronto - and a love that’s haunted me
And a love that’s haunted me; and a love that’s haunted me.
