Nellie Dean (You’re My Heart’s Desire, I Love You)

By the old mill stream I'm dreaming, Nellie Dean
Dreaming of your bright eyes gleaming, Nellie Dean
As the years go pondering slow
As we sat there long ago
Listening to the waters flow, Nellie Dean

I can hear the robins singing, Nellie Dean
Sweetest recollections ringing, Nellie Dean
And they seem to sing of you
With your tender eyes of blue
For I know they miss you too, Nellie Dean

There's an old mill by the stream, Nellie Dean (Nellie Dean)
Where we used to sit and dream, Nellie Dean (Nellie Dean)
And the waters as they flow
Seem to murmur sweet and low
You're my heart's desire
I love you, Nellie Dean (Nellie Dean)

There's an old mill by the stream, Nellie Dean (Nellie Dean)

And the waters as they flow
Seem to murmur sweet and low
You're my heart's desire
I love you, Nellie Dean (Nellie Dean)
