Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
When the day is done and the setting sun
Lights the room with a restful glow
Then a dream cloud fair soft enfolds me there
As I dream of the long ago
Chorus
I love to float in a boat
On the stream to dreamland
I love to land in the sand
On that fair shore
When I reach the beach
You always come to greet me
And when I say goodby
You sigh because I go
When we are there, lady fair
You love me dearly
While there with never a care
It’s not the same, what a shame
Tell me who’s the one to blame
Can’t you be to me
Just like you were last night
When I dreamed you held me
In your arms so tight
Can’t you love me
Like you do in my dreams
