I Lost A Lovely Dream

Oh, somewhere in the deep, dark night, I lost a lovely dream - It drifted through my sleeping hours, Just like a sparkling stream. It left an imprint on my mind, That I will ne’er forget - Such was the beauty of its form, Upon my heart now set. I’ve searched within my memory, This dream to now recall - But only shadows linger there, It’s gone, once and for all. It melted into vapoured clouds, Then floated far away – Becoming just an image lost, As night turned into day. I know my dream was beautiful, It filled my heart with glee - Oh, that I could recall it now, It was so lov-el-y.
