Lyrics
- The world’s growing older each day
And the world’s growing colder they say
The world has no place for a dreamer of dreams
Ah, then it’s no place for me it seems
For I dream of you all the day long
You run through the hours like a song
Sometimes I think if the world could see
My golden dreams, it would envy me
Refrain
Dearie, my Dearie
Nothing’s worthwhile, but dreams of you
And you can make every dream come true
Dearie, my Dearie
Give me your hand, say you understand
My Dearie
- Then though it’s so cold and so gray
Here I would be willing to stay
Forever and ever and even a day
If only my dearie to me would say
One word that would make my heart sing
And turn all the winter to spring
Sunshine and skies that are cloudless and blue
For all of my day depends on you
