Lyrics

The complete lyrics:

I am dreaming Dear of you, day by day
Dreaming when the skies are blue, When they're gray
When the silv'ry moonlight gleams, Still I wander on in dreams
In a land of love, it seems, Just with you

Chorus:
Let me call you "Sweetheart," I'm in love with you
Let me hear you whisper that you love me too
Keep the love-light glowing in your eyes so true
Let me call you "Sweetheart," I'm in love with you

Longing for you all the while, More and more;
Longing for the sunny smile, I adore
Birds are singing far and near, Roses blooming ev'rywhere
You, alone, my heart can cheer; You, just you

Chorus
