My dream sonata is the music I hear Each night when all the world is deep in slumber And in my dreams, my darling, you appear. While the music's playing I hear you say, "I love you, I love you." My dream sonata has the beauty of prayer, A prayer my lonely heart has set to music, That when I wake, my darling, you'll be there. But when I awaken, you're gone, it seems. Like my sonata, you are only in my dreams. (Instrumental interlude) My dream sonata has the beauty of prayer, A prayer my lonely heart has set to music, That when I wake, my darling, you'll be there. But when I awaken, you're gone, it seems. Like my sonata, you are only in my dreams.
