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

 Lets thou should 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 fair

 Mona Lisa no trace of a smile

 Why then be sure love that I'll

 No longer dream of thee

 Shall I not dream of thee?
