Lyrics
I sing of a dress for my lady
Orpheus gave me the theme
I dreamed of a dress for my lady
Morpehus lent me the dream
The Muses have lent me the rhyme
The fancy’s completed, and I’m
Refrain
Weaving a dress for my lady
Out of the fabric of Dreams
Fashioned of twilight
Sewn with the shy light of stars
And the moon’s fragile beams
Clasped with a girdle of dawning
Rainbows to cover the seams
Brightened with kisses Lady love
This is your gown from my fabric of dreams
