Like a golden dream in my heart, ever smiling Lives the image fair of happy love I knew in days gone by Still I seem to hear your laughter beguiling Still to see the joy The love light beaming from your radiant eye Can my dreaming be in vain Will my love ne'er come again? Ah come! Shall we waste the golden hours of youth far apart What care I for life without you by my side Do not delay, the hours slip away Your arms are my paradise You and only you can fill my heart Oh, star of my heaven Come back and shed your light upon my way Come back! Come back!

Cupo è l'avvenir sempre più tristi i di la gioventù passata sarà rimpianto mi resta sol sì rimpianto amaro e duol' nel cor! Oh raggio di sole Sul mio cammino ahimè non brii li più Mai più, mai più ***** TOSELLI'S SERENADE (DREAMS AND MEMORIES) (Enrico Toselli / Carl Sigman) Perry Como - 1966 Dreams and memories, Are all that you've left me, Only lonely thoughts, About the one I worship and adore! Dreams and memories, Are what I must live with, Sad remembering, Of golden moments that exist no more! Lovin' arms to hold me tight, And your lips to kiss goodnight, A love that seemed " Oh so right!" And yet, somehow, went wrong! Dreams and memories, The moonlight on your hair, Songs that we sang, That feeling we shared whenever a church bell rang! Oh, the memories and dreams of you! I can't live without you . . . I'll keep on praying you come back to me, To me . . . to me! (Contributed by Bill Huntley - January 2006) ***** TRIVIA: The music was composed in 1900, when Enrico Toselli was just 16 years old, under the title "Serenata for Violin and Piano, Op. 6".
