[1st verse:]

The sunbeams have taken their flight

The day slowly turned into night

All nature's at rest

The birds in their nest

Sleep on 'neath the moon's silv'ry light

The shadows of eve ease my heart

For now that we've drifted apart

I find joys anew while dreaming of you

Dreams that can ne'er come true



[chorus:]

Dreams, just dreams

My beautiful golden dreams

It seems my dreams

Are missives of sweet consolation

Each dream I dream

Turns gloom to a bright sunbeam

Since the love that I gave

Found a grave, all I crave

Is dreams, just dreams



[2nd verse:]

I wake with the morning my dear

The sun up above shining clear

The flowers seem gay to welcome the day

A day that will seem like a year

My goal is a land so it seems

Where night never turns to sunbeams

The world I would give to go there and live

Live with my golden dreams
