All alone I sit and dream of someone
Someone that I hold as my ideal
Hoping that someday I'll find that someone
Wondering what the future will reveal

For some girls are quickly forgotten
And gone with the dawn of the day
But some you remember, like last glowing embers
Haunting your memory and dreams

For I'm just a vagabond lover
In search of a sweetheart, it seems
And I know that someday I'll discover her
The girl of my vagabond dreams

(Instrumental Break)

For some girls are quickly forgotten
And gone with the dawn of the day
But some you remember, like last glowing embers
Haunting your memory and dreams

For I'm just a vagabond lover
In search of a sweetheart, it seems
And I know that someday I'll discover her
The girl of my vagabond dreams
