I Dreamed of You Last Night.
Copyright, 1898, by Spaulding & Gray.
Words and Music by George Hassell.
I dreamed of you last night, dear,
And the dream was wondrous sweet;
I dreamt that you and I, love,
After years of pain, did meet;
Again your eyes so softly
Looked tender, as of yore;
And the bitter-sweet of a by-gone past
Was forgotten, 'twas no more.
Chorus.
I dreamed of you last night, dear, and the dream was wondrous sweet;
I dreamt that after years of pain once more our hearts did meet.
I dreamed of you last night, dear,
And the dream was one of bliss;
I dreamt your arms were 'round me,
On my Tips you pressed a kiss;
Ah! why must dreams be fleeting,
Oh, why cannot dreams last?
For they still the pain of a weary heart,
And a bitter, hopeless putt.- Chorus.
