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 that 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 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 Mona Lisa No trace of a smile Why then be sure Love that I'll No longer dream of thee
