Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:


Lyrics

There’s a land of charm that I know
Land of sweet romance where I love to go
And it’s bounds touch my room in the gloom
When the shadows creep
Someone I meet there waits for me
Someone, tender as a lover should be
And I whisper each night
As I close my eyes in sleep

Refrain
Dream lover, fold your arms around me
Dream lover, your romance has found me
I’m held in your spell
Knowing so well, dreams never tell
We two can leave the world behind us
Nobody indiscreet can find us
Dream lover of mine
Secrets divine I am sharing with you
