Dreams of Long Ago

Shadows are falling and I sit alone

My heart's recalling memories when you were my own

Once more you press me to the fire

Once more caress me as they did before

Dreams, just dreams of long ago

Dreams of days that we both know

Time can never change the past

You're mine in dreams until the last

Summer's gone, and life grows cold

Still in dreams you're mine of old

Hearts may break but you can't take

Those golden dreams of long ago

Cold recollections paint you vividly

Youth's wild affections bring you in fancy to me

My arms enfold you, once again you're mine

Once more I hold you close to my soul's shrine

Dreams, just dreams of long ago

Dreams of days that we both know

Time can never change the past

You're mine in dreams until the last

Summer's gone, and life grows cold

Still in dreams you're mine of old

Hearts may break but you can't take

Those golden dreams of long ago
