On an ocean of dreams I have wandered it seems Just wanderin' wanderin' on Since I found the note sweetheart that you wrote Just saying that you had really gone Will the pretty bird sing will the roses in the spring Still blossom when they find you have gone Will the old pals be true or will they all leave me too Just wanderin' wanderin' on [ fiddle ] Will the little brook still play as it winds along its way Will the stars keep on shinin' tough you've gone Will they find their way to you will they tell you that I'm blue Or will they too leave me wanderin' on Will the pretty bird sing... [ guitar ] Though you've left me and gone I'll keep wanderin' on Wanderin' down life's way And beneath the lovely blue I may wander back to you And my dreams will all come true someday Then the pretty birds will sing how the happiness they'll bring And the roses too will bloom sweet and fair And a little star on high will shine for you and I If you promise my darlin' you'll be there
