The sheet music:
Lyrics
- I have a lot of castles
I built them all for you
Because I loved you only
And thought you loved me, too
They glisten in the sunlight
And when the starlight beams
I built them all of loving hopes
Of memories and dreams
Refrain
My castles in the air
Are tumbling, tumbling down
And that’s because you said
You can no longer care
My castles in the air are tumbling down
They were filled with Love-dreams fair
Although my heart is broken
I do not complain
I know I’ll always love you
Though it is in vain
But if I love another I’ll ne’er build again
Those golden castles in the air
- In dreams again I wander
Amid those castles fair
In dreams again I fancy
That you are with me there
I kiss you and I love you
As in a bye-gone day
But with the rosy blush of dawn
My love-dream fades away
