Dream On Little Soldier Boy 1918 Berlin

When darkness comes
and the soldier goes
to the land of dreams,
comes stealing some little angel
borne by the starlight beams,
Soothing all of his care
with some beautiful prayer,
blessings numbering
while he's slumbering
so peacefully there.

Dream on little soldier boy
may a golden vision
fill your heart with joy
may all your happiest hours
come back in dreams
may sunshine follow the show'rs
with brightest beams.
Wander with a peaceful mind
in the land of fancy
with the girl you left behind
sleep on what ever befalls
till dawn
when reveille calls,
Dream on,
little soldier boy.

You've work to do
on the morrow dear
little soldier lad.
Grim war may add
to your sorrow
you may be sick and sad.
Even though you may fall
sleep forgetting it all
resting cozily
dreaming rosily
awaiting your call.

Dream on little soldier boy
may a golden vision
fill your heart with joy
may all your happiest hours
come back in dreams
may sunshine follow the show'rs
with brightest beams.
Wander with a peaceful mind
in the land of fancy
with the girl you left behind
sleep on what ever befalls
till dawn
when reveille calls,
Dream on,
little soldier boy.
