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
