Lyrics
- Then is it true at last?
Now is my childhood past?
Can one chance meeting
Set my heart beating
Can this be love a calling?
Ah! I have dreamed the dream
For many a day
How love would come to me
And what it would say
Refrain
Wait for a while and you will soon be greeting
Growing up time, growing up time
Wonderful day when you forget your playthings
Poor young heart and little head a whirling
One hour ago it seemed that you were only
Mother’s baby, Daddy’s darling
Now you are somebody a someone’s only girl
- So there will come a day
When I shall hear him say
“Love worth the reaping
Lies in your keeping”
Was it not worth the waiting?
There is a dream world
Where my happiness lies
Bringing me you
To make my heart realize
