Tho' the days are long, Twilight sings a song, Of the happiness that used to be; Soon my eyes will close, Soon I'll find repose, And in dreams you're always near to me. [Chorus] I'll See You In My Dreams Hold you in my dreams, Someone took you out of my arms, Still I feel the thrill of your charms, Lips that once were mine, Tender eyes that shine, They will light my way tonight, I'll See You In My Dreams.
