Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- Since you’ve been away, I’m lonesome each day
The nights are so long, seems the whole world’s gone wrong
How I treasure the dreams of you and me
And things that were and are to be
Refrain
In my memory’s chest, along with the rest
There’s a dream of yesterday
I’ll ne’er forget happiness was ours
You were a rose I found ‘mongst the flowers
In that wonderful dream of yesterday
I will cherish it fondly always
And time can’t erase all the memories that cling
To that dream of yesterday
- I’m happy today, I know you will stay
For when you are near, all my cares disappear
I will never be blue for I have you
And things that were to be came true
