[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 [Refrain:] 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
