Lyrics

Last night I was dreaming, of thee love was dreaming
I dreamed thou did’st promise we never should part
While thy loved voice addressed me and soft hands caressed me
I kissed thee, and pressed thee once more to my heart
I kissed thee, and pressed thee once more to my heart
I dreamed thou wert living, my darling, my darling
I dreamed that I held thee once more to my breast
While thy soft perfumed tresses, and gentle caresses
Thrilled me, and stilled me, and lulled me to rest
Thrilled me, and stilled me, and lulled me to rest
