My Dream Sonata, by James Van Heusen and Mack David

My dream sonata is the music I hear
Each night when all the world is deep in slumber
And in my dreams, my darling, you appear.
While the music's playing I hear you say,
"I love you, I love you."

My dream sonata has the beauty of prayer,
A prayer my lonely heart has set to music,
That when I wake, my darling, you'll be there.
But when I awaken, you're gone, it seems.
Like my sonata, you are only in my dreams.

(Instrumental interlude)

My dream sonata has the beauty of prayer,
A prayer my lonely heart has set to music,
That when I wake, my darling, you'll be there.
But when I awaken, you're gone, it seems.
Like my sonata, you are only in my dreams.
