You Are The Ideal Of My Dreams 1910

At last I meet you face to face
The Ideal of my dream
I've waited to behold you, dear
For years and years 'twould seem
And now you come to live, to breathe
From out the mystic night
My burning heart, my very soul
Cries out in all its might

I love you, I love you, I love you
You are the Ideal of my dreams
I always knew, 'twould be someone like you
I've loved you forever it seems
For years in my mind's fondest fancy
A picture of your face I drew
And I knew you somehow
When I met you just now
You are the Ideal of my dreams

Somehow I feel you can't be real
You vanish like the mist
Before I hold you in my arms
Before your lips I've kissed
But no, you speak, you really live
Warm blood thro' your veins flows
Come nestle to my throbbing breast
I want the world to know

I love you, I love you, I love you
You are the Ideal of my dreams
I always knew, 'twould be someone like you
I've loved you forever it seems
For years in my mind's fondest fancy
A picture of your face I drew
And I knew you somehow
When I met you just now
You are the Ideal of my dreams
