DREAM OF THEE
(May)
The sun too soon lost his light
And on my shoulder I look for thee
But clouds that gathered in the night
Have taken thee from me
And how shall I live through the shadows
And how shall I sleep in the night
Until our hearts set us free
I must not dream of thee
Be strong my love while we're apart
And know the love I keep for thee
Is safe and secret in my heart
If thou shouldst dream of me
When lovers forget to blow kisses
And children no longer can dream
And lifeless the waters and silent the streams
And the stars shall lose their silvery gleam
Why then my lost love we'll see
I shall not dream of thee
When freedom is only a memory
And laughter is way out of style
And time now can spare on the
Face of the fair Mona Lisa
No trace of a smile
Why then be sure love that I'll
No longer dream of thee
Shall I not dream of thee...
