Lyrics
Come where my lies dreaming
Dreaming the happy hours away
In visions bright redeeming
The fleeting joys of day
Dreaming the happy hours
Dreaming the happy hours away
Come where my lies dreaming
Yes, is sweetly dreaming the happy hours away
Quartette:
Come where my lies dreaming
Yes, is sweetly dreaming the happy hours away
Come with a lute, come with a lay
My own love is sweetly dreaming
Her beauty beaming
Come where my lies dreaming
Yes, is sweetly dreaming the happy hours away
Quartette:
Come where my lies dreaming
Yes, is sweetly dreaming the happy hours away
Soft is her slumber, thoughts bright and free
Dance through her dreams like gushing melody
Light is her young heart, light may it be
Whether awake or dreaming
Come where my love lies dreaming.
Yes, is sweetly dreaming the happy hours away
Quartette:
Come where my lies dreaming
Yes, is sweetly dreaming the happy hours away
