Last night I dreamed
Of you, sweetheart
Once more you loved me
You said we'd never part
Of you, sweetheart
Once more you loved me
You said we'd never part
It's dawn again
Oh, how sad am I
My dream has ended
And tears fill my eyes
Oh, how sad am I
My dream has ended
And tears fill my eyes
Gently swaying around my feet
Like memories from the past
Each leaf reminds me of a dream
A dream that wouldn't last
Like memories from the past
Each leaf reminds me of a dream
A dream that wouldn't last
For once I know
Your promise you would keep
If I could only
Only stay asleep
Your promise you would keep
If I could only
Only stay asleep
(Repeat last two verses)
