I lived in a dream, my sweet
In a dream of you
My dream was a joy complete
For you loved me too
And now I'm no longer afraid of what the future might reveal
For the stuff that dreams are made of is suddenly real

Love of my life, life of my love
I used to pray and pray you'd hear me
Love of my life, angels above
Sent you at last, to stay always near me
Now we are one
Never to part
And nevermore need I implore you to miss me
Come to my arms, come to my heart, kiss me, kiss me
Come to me, come to me, love of my life, love of my life
Love of my life, my live, my love

As recorded by Shirley Jones & Jack Cassidy:


Jack:
Love of my life, life of my love,
I used to pray and pray you'd hear me.
Love of my life, angels above
Sent you at last, to stay always near me.

Shirley:
Now we are one,
Never to part,
And nevermore need I implore you to miss me.

Jack:
Come to my arms, come to my heart,

Shirley:
Kiss me, kiss me.

Jack:
Come to me, come to me, love of my life.

Shirley:
Love of my life,

Jack:
Love of my life,

Shirley:
Life of my love.

Jack:
Life of my love

Both:
I used to pray and pray you'd hear me.

Shirley:
Love of my life

Jack:
Love of my life

Shirley:
Angels above

Jack:
Angels above

Both:
Sent you at last, to stay always near me.

Jack:
Now we are one,
Never to part,
And nevermore need I implore you to miss me.

Shirley:
Come to my arms, come to my heart, kiss me, kiss me

Both:
Come to me, come to me, Love of my life
Love of my life, my life, my love.
