Lyrics
I close my eyes
And dream that you’re near me
Then hate to wake
For day will take my dreams away
A paradise is mine when you’re near me
And dreams live on although each dawn
Will find you gone
Chorus
Let’s sail to Dreamland
On a silvery sea
With love beside us
A dream-boat to guide us
What more can there be?
Let’s sail to Dreamland
In the blue of the night
The land of kisses
Where heaven and bliss is
And stars are so bright
We’ll build a love nest
Just a cozy high above nest
And stroll in star dust
That falls just like the dew
Let’s sail to Dreamland
On a silvery sea
Where dreams are mating
And romance is waiting
For you and for me
