As recorded by FRANK SINATRA
with Axel Stordahl & His Orch., 14th Nov 1944, New York:

If you are but a dream
I hope I never waken
It's more than I could bear
To find that I'm forsaken

If you're a fantasy
Then I'm content to be
In love with lovely you
And pray my dream comes true
I long to kiss you
But I would not dare
I'm so afraid that 
You may vanish in the air

So, darling
If our romance should break up
I hope I never wake up
If you are but a dream

(Orchestral Interlude)

I long to kiss you
But I would not dare
I'm so afraid that 
You may vanish in the air

So, darling
If our romance should break up
I hope I never wake up
If you are but a dream
