Beautiful Dreamer
from Bedroom Demo #44
Words and Music by Stephen Foster
(1864)
Beautiful dreamer
Wake unto me
Starlight and dew drops
Are waiting for thee
Sounds of the rude world
Heard in the day
Lulled by the moonlight
Have all passed away
Beautiful dreamer
Queen of my song
List while I woo thee
With soft melody
Gone are the cares of
Life's busy throng
Beautiful dreamer
Awake unto me
Beautiful dreamer
Out on the sea
Mermaids are chanting
The wild Lorelei
Over the streamlet
Vapors are borne
Waiting to fade
At the bright coming morn
Beautiful dreamer
Beam on my heart
E'en as the morn on
The streamlet and sea
Then will all clouds of
Sorrow depart
Beautiful dreamer
Awake unto me
Beautiful dreamer
Awake unto me
