You Are But My Dream

~You are for me but just a Dream

of that my heart in that it seems~

~My wish if wishes could come true

to have your love as I love you~

~I’ve loved you since begin the time

you’re every thought within my mind~

~I long to touch those of your lips

with them of mine within your kiss~

~To hold you in my arms and say

how I love you in every way~

~To have you lay with me the night

wake-up to see you come daylight~

~I know this love can never be

but still I wish you be with me~

~Sometimes I lay awake at night

within my thoughts I hold you tight~

~In that I keep you close to me

and wish the morn my wish to be~

~Within my heart so does it cry

within my soul it slowly dies~

~My only peace serenity

be you my dream in that I see~

~And if I die before I wake

I pray the Lord this dream I take~

~For in this dream you are my wife

in all I do you are my life~

~In heaven all it’s Glory be

I’ll have a chance you be with me~
