If I Should Dream Of You 1911 'The Rose Shop'

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 13 Aug 2005

[Philippe:] When out on the desert
'neath sun's torrid ray;
I longed for night's mantle
to blot out the day;
when fancy to prospect
of bliss could forsee
to bring blessed sleep
and to dream dear of thee.
[Rose:] Such startling coincidence
I never knew,
when ever I dreamed,
It was always of you;
'Midst loving embraces
and throbbing of heart
our vows were exchanged
that we never should part,
[Philippe:] Oh sing again
as in my dreams
Love's sweet refrain ever the theme.
My fair one,
Constant I'll be
ever to thee,
My heart's aglow, dear one,
I love you so!
[Rose:] Love's golden chain
binds us again,
as it would seem,
drifting the stream of dreamland,
with me shall dwell
love's precious spell
tender and true
if I should dream of you!

Come!
Ah, come, come, come,
Ah! come!
