Lyrics
Keep your dreams
While it would seem you are near me
Within your arms, hold my charms
Let tonight be the night
For your hour of mad delight
Dream away, dream I’m alone with you
Dream away, dream I’m your own with you
Dream you drink a sweeter wine
From those tender lips of mine
While I hold you
Dream away, dream while the night is on
Dream away, dream till the golden dawn
After you awaken, when you find me gone
Then dream, dream on
Drunk with caresses, bound in your tresses
Waking would bring me sadness
Look where your lips have burned me
See where your arms have pressed
Keep on dreaming, love that is seeming
Burns with a greater madness
Passion is wine, only love is divine
Dream away, dream I’m alone with you
Dream away, dream I’m your dream come true
After you awaken and you find me gone
Then dream, dream on
