Lyrics
- Sometimes I wonder if hearts are broken
By little love words that are left unspoken
I always tremble when you are near me
I’m looking for a ray of hope to cheer me
I hope to keep my kisses warm
Until we meet in shadow form
Refrain
In dreams I kiss your hand, madame
Your dainty fingertips
And while in slumberland, madame
I’m begging for your lips
I haven’t any right, madame
To do the things I do
Just when I hold you tight, madame
You vanish with the night, madame
In dreams I kiss your hand, madame
And pray my dreams come true
- When night comes creeping and shadows wander
I dream you’re close to me and love grows fonder
Then in the morning when dawn arises
I find a lot of joys and surprises
I hope you don’t find fault with me
For taking such a liberty
