Lyrics
Beautiful laces I weave the day long
I love it so, sing as I go
Laces and graces I weave with a song
Soft and low
Waiting and wishing and weaving the while
Each new design, each ev’ry line
Weaving sweet dreams in soft lace to beguile
Dreams of mine
Refrain
Ever weaving, e’er believing
Dreams come true
Ever yearning, thoughts are burning
All night through
In the lovely purple glow
When the shadows come and go
I keep weaving dreams in laces
That I love so
Sung here by Fred Feild:
