Lyrics
- I’m never happy in the daytime
It’s not the gay time it ought to be
The dreamy slumbertime is my time
Because the nighttime brings me
Chorus
Sweet dreams of someone I love
Sweet dreams when stars are above
While I’m sleeping
Bright eyes come peeping
Two arms enfold me
Close to your heart you hold me
Sweet lips are pressed to my own
One kiss, and then I’m alone
Sweetheart, when will they come true?
Those sweet dreams that I have of you
- There’s sweet bliss in your phantom visit
But, oh, why is it we have to part?
Why can’t we just go on pretending
In dreams unending, sweetheart?
