“Visions of You”
a 1922 popular song
words by Adele Czizek
music by Kate Roskopp
Accompaniment:
Lyrics
- Here in the twilight I’m smoking my pipe
Watching the clouds drifting by
Idly I wonder how lovely they are
As they lazily float in the sky
Chorus
There are fleecey white clouds
That are softer than down
And that float with the grace of a fawn
There are heavy black clouds
That give promise of storm
There are clouds that are blushing with dawn
There are misty grey clouds
Like a veil of chiffon
And bright clouds that merge with the blue
But the prettiest clouds are my own, dear
Of smoke that arise to form visions of you
- Softly the shadows of nighttime appear
On through the twilight alone, dear, I dream
Visions unfolding arise from the clouds
Nearer and dearer you seem
Sung here by Fred Feild:
