Lyrics
- Like a gypsy wandering are my dreams
Searching for the place where love-light gleams
I’ll travel on until darkness has gone
Though my lonely heart is now in pain
Still I feel my dreams are not in vain
Visions I see of the one for me
Refrain
In my heart I keep my dream memory
Clinging to me like a theme melody
Hoping that some day the song I hum
Sure will come true
It’s a dream about the moon, stars above
Meeting someone very soon, I will love
Telling me that I should wait and trust
That I must do
I long for two empty arms
That feel the same as mine
For life’s sweet charms
To have and hold divine
Where can it be?
Won’t you answer me?
I can hear you call, my dream memory
Somewhere ‘neath the skies of blue
Love has come at last and paid its debt
When I met you
- Why am I just dreaming dreams of you?
How I wish you’re dreaming of me, too
I find delight in the still of the night
When the early dawn begins to rise
Tears of joy are flowing from my eyes
Thinking that I see you standing by
