Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
I sit alone in the golden daylight
But all I see is a silver sky
For in my fancy I sweep away light
And keep my image of the sky
Just the way we like it, you and I
Chorus:
All through the day
I dream about the night
I dream about the night
Here with you
All through the day
I wish away the time
Until the time when I’m
Here with you
Down falls the sun
I run to meet you
The evening mist melts away
Down smiles the moon
And soon your lips recall
The kiss I dreamed of
All through the day
