Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- I wander tonight where the moon softly beams
Into the past thro’ a garden of dreams
There I will linger with you, dear, once more
As I did in the days of yore
Refrain
When I was a dreamer and you were my dream
We lived in a palace of gold
Each beautiful dream brought you nearer, it seemed
Close in my arms to enfold
I dreamed that you always would love me
I dreamed of a world just for two
But I was a dreamer and you were my dream
A dream that has never come true
- I’m dreaming again of a day in the past
Dreaming of love that you said was to last
Now like a dream that I dream in the night
All my love dreams have taken flight
