The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
- Mignonette, at last we have met
My daydream girl, best in the world
Mignonette, my dream has come true
For I love but you
Refrain
We’re sailing away
Where dancing waves play
All tossing their spray
Like fairies’ array
With love at the helm
To that naiad realm
Where our daydreams
Come true for me and you
Lovers on Day Dream Bay
- Oh my dear, I cannot forget
Tell me you’ll let love rule your heart
Come what may, let’s sail away
Careless of Cupid’s art
