The Valley Of Dreams 1920

Away out yonder in the twilight
I love to wander in my dreams
When the shadows hide me,
Fancy comes to guide me,
Into a Paradise it seems.

Beyond the valley of dreams
There's a Castle in the Air,
A world of happiness seems
To be waiting for me there,
And when the stars are aglow
Dream voices, gentle and low,
Are calling me with their song
Like sirens of long ago;
Dream eyes are yearning for me
In that haven of my own,
Dreams lips are burning for me
With a kiss that's mine alone.
But when the dawn's in the sky
I bid my Dream World goodbye
And journey back with a sigh
Across the Valley of Dreams.

Beyond the valley of dreams
There's a Castle in the Air,
A world of happiness seems
To be waiting for me there,
And when the stars are aglow
Dream voices, gentle and low,
Are calling me with their song
Like sirens of long ago;
Dream eyes are yearning for me
In that haven of my own,
Dreams lips are burning for me
With a kiss that's mine alone.
But when the dawn's in the sky
I bid my Dream World goodbye
And journey back with a sigh
Across the Valley of Dreams.

Still I'm content to be a dreamer
Whose dreams are meant to be in vain,
Tho' the pain of waking
Fills my heart with aching,
The twilight brings my dreams again.

Beyond the valley of dreams
There's a Castle in the Air,
A world of happiness seems
To be waiting for me there,
And when the stars are aglow
Dream voices, gentle and low,
Are calling me with their song
Like sirens of long ago;
Dream eyes are yearning for me
In that haven of my own,
Dreams lips are burning for me
With a kiss that's mine alone.
But when the dawn's in the sky
I bid my Dream World goodbye
And journey back with a sigh
Across the Valley of Dreams.

Beyond the valley of dreams
There's a Castle in the Air,
A world of happiness seems
To be waiting for me there,
And when the stars are aglow
Dream voices, gentle and low,
Are calling me with their song
Like sirens of long ago;
Dream eyes are yearning for me
In that haven of my own,
Dreams lips are burning for me
With a kiss that's mine alone.
But when the dawn's in the sky
I bid my Dream World goodbye
And journey back with a sigh
Across the Valley of Dreams.
