Accompaniment by Denese Coulbeck:
Lyrics
- I met you one night
Neath the moon’s radiant light
In a bright vale of golden dreams
Your sweet voice from above
That thrilled me with love
Is haunting me now so it seems
Chorus
If my golden dreams could come true
Every dark cloud would turn in to gold
On an isle far away just with you
What a wonderful love I’d unfold
I know I will never forget
Your sweet smile and your dear eyes of blue
My poor heart would not pine
All the world would be mine
If my golden dreams could come true
- I’ve dreamed and I’ve schemed
While the moon brightly beamed
And the sweet golden hours rolled by
To a land far away, in fancy I stray
At night when the stars shine on high
