The night is a velvet cover
My bed is a carpet of dew
And I'm meeting my phantom lover
In a dreamland rendezvous

Vagabond dreams steal into my heart
And speak to me of love once more
Then take me far on a drifting star
To some romantic shore

Find me the one, that wonderful one
Who`ll whisper, "I am yours forever"

Fill the night with music dipped in perfume
Like 'April in Paris' or maybe 'Love in Bloom'
For somehow I feel I'll find my ideal
Tonight in my vagabond dreams
