Lyrics

Lyrics:
First verse
I wander tonight where the moon softly beams, Into the past thro' a garden of dreams; There I will linger with you, dear, once more, As I did in the days of yore.
Refrain
When I was a dreamer and you were my dream, We lived in a palace of gold; Each beautiful dream brought you nearer, it seemed, Close in my arms to enfold. I dreamed that you always would love me, I dreamed of a world just for two; But I was a dreamer and you were my dream, A dream that has never come true.
Second verse
I'm dreaming again of a day in the past, Dreaming of love that you said was to last; Now like a dream that I dream in the night, All my love dreams have taken flight.
(Refrain)
