And then I'll hold you in my dreams
Someone took you right out of my arms
Still I feel the thrill of your charms
Lips that once were mine
Tender eyes that shine
They will light my way tonight
Yes, I will see you in my dreams
You know I'll hold you in my dreams
I know that someone took you right out of my arms
But, still, I feel the thrill of your charms
I dream of lips that once were mine
And those tender eyes that shine
I know they'll light my way tonight
When I see you in my dreams
Yes, they will light my way tonight
Because I'll see you in my dreams
