Day DreamingAretha Franklin

Songwriter: Aretha Franklin

Producer: Jerry Wexler Arif Mardin Tom Dowd

[Chorus]
Daydreaming and I'm thinking of you
Daydreaming and I'm thinking of you
Daydreaming and I'm thinking of you
Daydreaming and I'm thinking of you
Look at my mind floating away

[Verse 1]
He's the kind of guy that would say
Hey, baby let's get away
Let's go some place, huh
Where I don't care
He's the kind of guy that you give your everything
You trust your heart, share all of your love
Till death do you part
I want to be what he wants
When he wants it and whenever he needs it
And when he's lonesome and feeling love starved
I'll be there to feed it
I'm loving' him a little bit more each day
Turns me right on when I hear him say

[Refrain]
Hey, baby, let's get away
Let's go somewhere far
Baby can we
Where, I don't care
Hey baby let's get away
Let's go somewhere far
Baby can we
Where, I don't care

[Verse 2]
I want to be what he wants when he wants it
And whenever he needs it
And when he's lonesome and feeling love starved
I'll be there to feed it
Loving him a little bit more each day
It turns me right on when I hear him say

[Refrain]
Hey, baby, let's get away
Let's go somewhere far
Baby can we
Where, I don't care
Hey baby let's get away
Let's go somewhere far
Baby can we
Where, I don't care
Hey, baby, let's get away
Let's go somewhere far
Baby can we
Where, I don't care
Hey baby let's get away
Let's go somewhere far
Baby can we
Where, I don't care

[Chorus]
Daydreaming and I'm thinking of you
Daydreaming and I'm thinking of you
Daydreaming and I'm thinking of you
Daydreaming and I'm thinking of you
Look at my love floating away

[Outro]
Day... dreaming
Day... dreaming

Aretha Franklin

Aretha Franklin is both a 20th and 21st century musical and cultural icon known simply by her first Aretha. She is the reigning and undisputed “Queen Of Soul” with a legacy that spans five decades. A native of Detroit, Michigan, Aretha began her career singing gospel at her father, minister C. L. Franklin’s church as a child. In 1960, at the age of 18, Aretha embarked on a secular career, recording for Columbia Records with modest success.

After moving to Atlantic Records in 1967, she released a steady string of US top ten hits through 1973 including “Spanish Harlem”, “Chain Of Fools”, “Baby I Love You”, “Since You’ve Been Gone”, “Daydreaming”, “The House That Jack Built”, “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman", ”Think“ and her first chart-topper “Respect” – a song that also won Aretha her first of 18 Grammys. During this time, several of her songs were also successful overseas.

By the mid-70s, Aretha’s commercial success waned and she left Atlantic for Clive Davis' Arista Records in 1980. Her 1982 song “Jump to It,” returned her to the top 40 for the first time in six years. 1985’s Who’s Zoomin' Who? got her back into the top 10 twice with its title track and “Freeway Of Love”. Four more songs reached the top 40 through 1986.
