On Lake Champlain 1916

by James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 02 Aug 2005

Dreams, dreams, do you remember, love?
Dreams, dreams, 'twas in September, love.
You and I were only dreaming
dreams that could never come true;
I sigh again
for Lake Champlain

On Lake Champlain,
in our little birch canoe,
On Lake Champlain,
I was happy, dear, with you
I heard you sigh
as the ripples kissed the shore,
your dreamy eye
spoke of love and nothing more.
For just one beautiful night
you were my dream of delight,
and then you faded away with the day
on Lake Champlain.

On Lake Champlain,
in our little birch canoe,
On Lake Champlain,
I was happy, dear, with you
I heard you sigh
as the ripples kissed the shore,
your dreamy eye
spoke of love and nothing more.
For just one beautiful night
you were my dream of delight,
and then you faded away with the day
on Lake Champlain.

Moonlight shines in its splendour bright,
June night beams in its tender light;
Starlight shining on the waters
brings back love's vision anew;
My birch canoe
and me and you:

On Lake Champlain,
in our little birch canoe,
On Lake Champlain,
I was happy, dear, with you
I heard you sigh
as the ripples kissed the shore,
your dreamy eye
spoke of love and nothing more.
For just one beautiful night
you were my dream of delight,
and then you faded away with the day
on Lake Champlain.

On Lake Champlain,
in our little birch canoe,
On Lake Champlain,
I was happy, dear, with you
I heard you sigh
as the ripples kissed the shore,
your dreamy eye
spoke of love and nothing more.
For just one beautiful night
you were my dream of delight,
and then you faded away with the day
on Lake Champlain.
