Dreaming a dream
Night and day I am far, far away
Dreaming a dream
I hear somebody tenderly say
Loving words of devotion
And the joy is so tender, so sweet
I am so thrilled with emotion
I can feel my heart beat, beat, beat, beating
Dreaming a dream
I'm at home in the cottage I prize
Watching the gleam
Of the love light in somebody’s eyes
Closer to her side I creep and fall asleep
Then wake with empty arms and weep
I am dreaming a dream
That may ne'er comе true
