Lyrics
The morning is filled with much gladness
That night before sleep gave to me
The dear sweet caresses
And your golden tresses
That I treasure so tenderly, But
Chorus:
Why do you love me in dreams, dear
Why like the stars won’t you fall
You are my idol it seems, dear
But why do you love me at all?
With out-stretched arms I’m entreating
And Oh, how real it all seems
But with the dawn, I find you are gone
So, why do you love me in dreams
