There's a land of charm that I know
Land of sweet romance where I love to go
And it falls at my door
In the gloom where the shadows dream

Someone I meet there waits for me
Someone tender as a lover should be
And I whisper each night
As I close my eyes in sleep

Dream lover, fold your arms around me
Dream lover, your romance has found me
I'm here in your spell, knowing so well
Dreams never tell

We two can leave the world behind us
Nobody indiscreet can find us
All dreams are of mine, secrets divine
I will share them with you

(Orchestral Interlude)

We two can leave the world behind us
Nobody indiscreet can find us
All dreams are of mine, secrets divine
I will share them with you
