A dream of you is all I ask;
my heart is full of gloom.
Could there be no simpler task
while in this barren room?
To place a kiss upon your brow
and breathe your fragrant hair,
to whisper a heartfelt vow
and explain how much I care.
A dream of you is all I ask
to take away this gloom.
Could there be no simpler task
to escape this lonely room?
If I could but dream a dream
of spending time with you
I would gladly stay asleep
and sleep my whole life thru.
I pray that a day will come
that I need not wish for sleep;
when loneliness is finally gone
and you are mine to keep.
A dream of you is all I ask
to relieve this feeling soon.
Could there be no simpler task
to avoid this fateful doom?
But to dream of a kiss
for want or a wish
is not as easy as it seems.
