My Heart Was Sleeping 1934 Vs2

I used to wonder
would the skies for me
ever be blue,
and why my dream
of love's own burning flame
never come true;
I saw no glory in the sunset,
no light on earth, or sea, or sky,
Dearest, I read no meaning
in the stars aglow,
now I know why.

My heart was sleeping
until you came to me,
and whisper'd tenderly,
"I love you so."
My heart was sleeping,
you chang'd the world for me,
for love's sweet mystery
I did not know.
The message in your eyes
led me to Paradise;
I saw the morning skies
were blue above.
My heart was sleeping
till from a dream divine,
with your lips close to mine,
I woke to love.

My heart was sleeping
until you came to me,
and whisper'd tenderly,
"I love you so."
My heart was sleeping,
you chang'd the world for me,
for love's sweet mystery
I did not know.
The message in your eyes
led me to Paradise;
I saw the morning skies
were blue above.
My heart was sleeping
till from a dream divine,
with your lips close to mine,
I woke to love.

The day I found romance
I can't forget.
When I met you,
a world of rosy dreams I seem to see
thrilling me through;
I need no stars above to guide me,
as thro' the night my way I take,
Dearest, because I know
your lips at dawn will be
bidding me wake.

My heart was sleeping
until you came to me,
and whisper'd tenderly,
"I love you so."
My heart was sleeping,
you chang'd the world for me,
for love's sweet mystery
I did not know.
The message in your eyes
led me to Paradise;
I saw the morning skies
were blue above.
My heart was sleeping
till from a dream divine,
with your lips close to mine,
I woke to love.

My heart was sleeping
until you came to me,
and whisper'd tenderly,
"I love you so."
My heart was sleeping,
you chang'd the world for me,
for love's sweet mystery
I did not know.
The message in your eyes
led me to Paradise;
I saw the morning skies
were blue above.
My heart was sleeping
till from a dream divine,
with your lips close to mine,
I woke to love.
