Love Can Be Dreamed - 1940

James Pitt-Payne, London and Ian Cousins, Opera Australia

Love can be dreamed,
like a song can be sung and forgot.
I have known dreamlove alone, no reality.
Love can be dreamed,
like a shadow seem real, but is not.
Now the past shows me at last
what was meant to be.
Can you understand,
When I take your hand,
That my life's been waiting for this?
There's a whole new world in your kiss,
For you can renew
All that hope in my heart says is true:
Love can be lived as well as be dreamed
Love with you!

Sweet violins betray
All that their players say;
How can my voice be masking
All that my heart is asking?
Just as the Northern Star
Northward must point afar,
I must speak of love to you
Confess each caress of my words is true!

Love can be dreamed,
like a song can be sung and forgot.
I have known dreamlove alone, no reality.
Love can be dreamed,
like a shadow seem real, but is not.
Now the past shows me at last
what was meant to be.
Can you understand,
When I take your hand,
That my life's been waiting for this?
There's a whole new world in your kiss,
For you can renew
All that hope in my heart says is true:
Love can be lived as well as be dreamed
Love with you!
