Sometimes in My Dreams
Language: English 
I know that sometimes in my dreams
Your face again I see.
I know you come and strive awhile
To help and comfort me.

I know that o'er my darkened world,
From myriad lights above,
One star shines down for me alone,
Lit by your dear love.

I know you wait somewhere beyond
The gleam of sunset glow,
My coming home at eventide;
Dear heart, I know, I know.
