Was It A Dream? 1928

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 26 Apr 2004

I'm in a trance,
a beautiful trance
since I fell in love with you.
I can't believe it happened at all,
It seemed too good to be true.

Was it a dream? Was it a dream?
We were alone
and you were in my arms last night.
Was it a dream? Was it a dream?
We made a vow
beneath the pale moonlight
I never knew, I never thought,
such bliss as this could fill me
with a love divine;
I'm afraid I'll wake and find,
it was only in my mind:
Was it a dream,
or are you really mine?

Was it a dream? Was it a dream?
We were alone
and you were in my arms last night.
Was it a dream? Was it a dream?
We made a vow
beneath the pale moonlight
I never knew, I never thought,
such bliss as this could fill me
with a love divine;
I'm afraid I'll wake and find,
it was only in my mind:
Was it a dream,
or are you really mine?

'Twas in the night,
a wonderful night,
There appeared a vision fair.
I heard a voice
but now all that's gone,
I'm not quite sure it was there.

Was it a dream? Was it a dream?
We were alone
and you were in my arms last night.
Was it a dream? Was it a dream?
We made a vow
beneath the pale moonlight
I never knew, I never thought,
such bliss as this could fill me
with a love divine;
I'm afraid I'll wake and find,
it was only in my mind:
Was it a dream,
or are you really mine?

Was it a dream? Was it a dream?
We were alone
and you were in my arms last night.
Was it a dream? Was it a dream?
We made a vow
beneath the pale moonlight
I never knew, I never thought,
such bliss as this could fill me
with a love divine;
I'm afraid I'll wake and find,
it was only in my mind:
Was it a dream,
or are you really mine?
