Only A Dream Of You 1909

Last night, dear heart,
I had a dream,
I saw you in the long ago,
how dear to me, it all did seem,
my heart was filled with love's sweet glow.
This world to me, dear, seemed anew
and life was but one endless stream,
but morning came and I awoke,
to know that it was but a dream.

Only a dream, dear heart, Only a dream
Would that I ne'er awoke,
Things the same would seem;
bright stars above look down;
life seems to me anew,
yet, dear, I wake to know,
'tis only a dream of you.

When from that distant land of dreams,
my heart in loneliness must pine,
for others bask with you, it seems,
but still my ev'ry thought is thine;
In dreams I roamed the woodland o'er
beneath the cloudless sky of blue,
but when the stars grow dim above,
I wake and know 'tis dreams of you.

Only a dream, dear heart, Only a dream
Would that I ne'er awoke,
Things the same would seem;
bright stars above look down;
life seems to me anew,
yet, dear, I wake to know,
'tis only a dream of you.
