Dreams Of Long Ago

Shadows are falling and I sit alone
My heart's recalling memories when you were my own
Once more you press me to the fire
Once more caress me as they did before

Dreams, just dreams of long ago
Dreams of days that we both know
Time can never change the past
You're mine in dreams until the last
Summer's gone, and life grows cold
Still in dreams you're mine of old
Hearts may break but you can't take
Those golden dreams of long ago

Cold recollections paint you vividly
Youth's wild affections bring you in fancy to me
My arms enfold you, once again you're mine
Once more I hold you close to my soul's shrine

Dreams, just dreams of long ago
Dreams of days that we both know
Time can never change the past
You're mine in dreams until the last
Summer's gone, and life grows cold
Still in dreams you're mine of old
Hearts may break but you can't take
Those golden dreams of long ago
