Last night, dear heart,I had a dream I saw you in the long ago How dear to me, it all did seem My heart was filled with love's sweet glow This world to me, dear, seemed anew And life was but one endless stream But morning came and I awoke To know that it was but a dream Only a dream, dear heart,Only a dream Would that I ne'er awoke Things the same would seem Bright stars above look down Life seems to me anew,Yet dear I wake to know, 'Tis only a dream of you When from that distant land of dreams
My heart in lonliness must pine For others bask with you, it seems But still my ev'ry thought is thine In dreams I roamed the woodland o'er Beneath the cloudless sky of blue But when the stars grow dim above I wake and know the dreams of you Only a dream, dear heart,Only a dream Would that I ne'er awoke Things the same would seem Bright stars above look down Life seems to me anew,Yet dear I wake to know, 'Tis only a dream of you
