Dreaming

Once again I saw the river
Where the water lilies grow
Where the willow branches quiver
As the gentle zephyrs blow
And I heard those well lov’d accents
That once held my heart in thrall
And they whisper’d words of promise
I was dreaming, that was all!
I was dreaming, only dreaming
I was dreaming, that was all!
I was dreaming, only dreaming
I was dreaming, that was all!

In my hand there steals another
And my heart is throbbing fast
As he whispers that together
We will cling unto the last!
Then I’ll murmur that I’ll love him
Whatsoever may befall
And my soul is filled with rapture
‘Tis no dreaming after all!
‘Tis no dreaming after all!
‘Tis no dreaming after all!
‘Tis no dreaming after all!
