I'm dreaming of a land where days are always fair, The silver nights bring soft delights And life holds naught of care; A little world of love for two Where eyes are bright and hearts are true. Ah! Wonderful world of romance! Land of my golden dreams. Where the hours go by On the wings of a sigh, And ever the lovelight gleams; Nightingales sing to the moon, Stars shining brightly above. In that wonderful, wonderful world of romance I am waiting for you, my love! The breezes from the south ail whisper love to me While to and fro the spices blow Beside a summer sea: And in the silence all apart I hear the beating of your heart. Ah! Wonderful world of romance! Land of my golden dreams. Where the hours go by On the wings of a sigh, And ever the lovelight gleams; Nightingales sing to the moon, Stars shining brightly above. In that wonderful, wonderful world of romance I am waiting for you, my love!
