DREAMS OF LONG AGO
(Enrico Caruso / Earl Carroll) 
 
Enrico Caruso - 1912
 

Shadows are falling and I sit alone
My heart recalling
Memories when you were my own
 
Once more you press me
two lips I adore
Once more caress me
As they did before
 
Dreams, just dreams of long ago
Dreams of days that we both know
Time can never change the past
Your mine in dreams until the last
 
Summer's gone and life grow cold
Still in dreams you're mine of old
Hearts may break, but you can't take
Those golden dreams of long ago
 
(Orchestral Break)
 
Fond recollections paint you vividly,
Youth's wild affections bring you in fancy to me
My arms enfold you, once again you're mine
Once more I hold you, close to love's own shrine
 
Dreams, just dreams of long ago
Dreams of days that we both know
Times can never change the past
You're mine in dreams until the last 
 
Summer's gone and life grow cold
Still in dreams you're mine of old
Hearts may break, but you can't take
Those golden dreams of long ago
