Lyrics
- I’m sitting alone by the fireside
Watching the shadows fall
I’m dreaming again of you dear
And the days beyond recall
And life is so empty without you
No one can take your place
So I’m drifting back to dreamland
For a glimpse of your dear face
Chorus
I’m drifting back to dreamland
I’m sure I’ll find you there
With a smile for every tear
And a kiss for every care
I’m lonesome but I’m happy
For I know you’ll wait for me
Where the silver sands of dreamland
Meet the sea of memory
- The days and the nights seem so lonely
Missing you all the while
I’d give all I own if only
It would bring me back your smile
But all of our castles have vanished
They could not be it seems
But I’ll build them all again, dear
In that mystic land of dreams
