Lyrics
- We dreamed our little dreams and now we’re waking
To love a little more the joys we’ll miss
We’ll smile although our hearts are breaking
Just whispering this
Chorus
Must we say farewell to dreams?
To our hopes and our golden schemes?
To the lake we roamed hand in hand
To the castles high you and I have planned?
Day will end, the night will fall
In my dreams I will hear you call
Tell me, heart of mine, what am I to do?
Must I say farewell to dreams and you?
- Oh, surely there’s a star ‘neath heaven’s awning
Some tiny beacon shining in the blue
To light our darkest hour, ere dawning
Hope rises anew
