When the moon begins to beam
I'll have a rendezvous, a rendezvous with a dream
Down beside a rippling stream

My heart will lead me to a rendezvous with a dream
Then you will say that you love me and hold me so tight
But like the stars up above me
You'll fade away in the night

But when at last my dreams come true
I'll have a rendezvous, a rendezvous with you.
