Fast Asleep In Poppyland 1919

Far away where fields of golden poppies grow,
kissed by sunshine
while they're swaying too and fro,
Lives a pretty little China maiden
and her heart with love is overladen,
For the one whom she loves so.
Ev'ry night when shadows creep,
with a smile she goes to sleep.

Lights burn low,
Dreams come and go,
Dreams of all the happy hours
Spent among the flowers.
Fast asleep,
Love will understand;
Gone where love dreamers go,
She's fast asleep in poppyland.

Lights burn low,
Dreams come and go,
Dreams of all the happy hours
Spent among the flowers.
Fast asleep,
Love will understand;
Gone where love dreamers go,
She's fast asleep in poppyland.

All the little fairies seem to understand,
Why she always wants to be in poppyland,
Scenes of sweetheart days are all about her,
birds and flowers couldn't live without her,
She's the queen of happyland.
When she sleeps as sweethearts do,
Birds and flow'rs get sleepy too.

Lights burn low,
Dreams come and go,
Dreams of all the happy hours
Spent among the flowers.
Fast asleep,
Love will understand;
Gone where love dreamers go,
She's fast asleep in poppyland.

Lights burn low,
Dreams come and go,
Dreams of all the happy hours
Spent among the flowers.
Fast asleep,
Love will understand;
Gone where love dreamers go,
She's fast asleep in poppyland.
