Dreams of You You come to me in my dreams at night I see your face in the candlelight I hear your footsteps in the hall The echo of a voice is all That I have left, just dreams of you Just memories and dreams of you Your shadow falls on my sunlit face A memory time cannot erase Nor distance ever squelch this fire A heart that aches with love's desire Awake or sleeping, all I do Is dream these longing dreams of you Still seeking your face in every crowd Sometimes I speak your name out loud And the sound of it, left hanging there Like a puff of smoke in the open air Is all I can ever have, it's true Just that, and these sweet dreams of you Poetry
