Just like old times, you were here last night
And gone was my worry and care
When I awoke, I knew then that I
Had dreamed of an old love affair

I was alone in the darkness, my dear
Many dreams ago you left me there
Sunlight told me you were gone and that I
Had dreamed of an old love affair

(Instrumental Break)

I've been so lonely since you have gone 
I love you with all of my heart
Heaven was mine when you smiled last night 
And said that we'd make a new start

Life seems so empty without you, my dear
If it's sun or rain, I just don't care
Sunlight told me you were gone and that I
Had dreamed of an old love affair
