Lyrics
1. When moonbeams light yon crystal sea
And fancy dreams in memorie
When stars are bright the cold moon light
And sorrows clouds have slowly passed away
Longing for you there alone dear heart I sit
And in visions faintly gleam
Dreaming of an isle where all is love supreme
Dreaming of our Isle of Dreams
Refrain:
Oft in the still night I’m dreaming dear
Dreaming that you were ever near
While the pale moon is shining
My heart for you is pining
The last kiss that you gave me dear
Your sweet voice I can ever hear
Calling me to you dear heart
Back to our Isle of Dreams
2. When sunset fades then twilight glow
As Autumn dies then Winter snow
When winds are chill and all is still
The yesterdays have gone for aye and aye
Thinking of you all alone dear heart I sit
While the shadows softly fall
Dreaming of an isle where all is bliss divine
Dreaming of our Isle of Dreams
