A Dream, a Dream, a Dream

A dream, a dream, a dream
Is all I have of her
Fading like the moon between the clouds
Please let me be close by her side

No other one I've seen
Possesses her charms
That burn like a primrose
Tempting the hummingbird
For here am I possessed with jealousy

La la la lai do dai
La la la loo la la dum da dai
Dum ba da dee
Lai da dai

Just a filament
Like the sweetest breeze and light
So fresh is the morning dew
She would wash my trouble away
And set my soul to rest

A dream, a dream, a dream
Is all I have of her
That fades like a flower when my time falls
Please let me be close by her side
