A Dream Within a Dream
Take this kiss upon the brow
Take this kiss upon the brow
And in parting from you now
And in parting from you now
This much let me avow
This much let me avow
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream
A dream, a dream, a dream,
A dream, a dream
Yet if hope has flown away
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day
In a vision, or in none
Or in none
Is it therefore the less gone
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream (In a dream)
In a dream, a dream, a dream (In a dream)
In a dream, a dream
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore
A surf-tormented shore
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand
Grains of the golden sand
How few, how few, how few
How few, how few, how few
Yet how they creep
Creep, creep, creep, creep
Through my fingers to the deep
While I weep, while I weep
While I weep, while I weep
While I weep, while I weep
While I weep, while I weep
Weep, weep, weep
Weep, weep, weep
Oh god, oh god, oh god, oh god
Can I not grasp them with a tighter clasp
Oh god, oh god, oh god, oh god
Can I not save one from the pitiless wave
Oh god, oh god, oh god, oh god
Oh god, oh god, oh god, oh god
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream
A dream, a dream, a dream (In a dream)
A dream, a dream, a dream (In a dream)
A dream, a dream, a dream (In a dream)
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream
Take this kiss upon the brow
And in parting from you now
And in parting from you now
This much let me avow
This much let me avow
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream
A dream, a dream, a dream,
A dream, a dream
Yet if hope has flown away
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day
In a vision, or in none
Or in none
Is it therefore the less gone
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream (In a dream)
In a dream, a dream, a dream (In a dream)
In a dream, a dream
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore
A surf-tormented shore
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand
Grains of the golden sand
How few, how few, how few
How few, how few, how few
Yet how they creep
Creep, creep, creep, creep
Through my fingers to the deep
While I weep, while I weep
While I weep, while I weep
While I weep, while I weep
While I weep, while I weep
Weep, weep, weep
Weep, weep, weep
Oh god, oh god, oh god, oh god
Can I not grasp them with a tighter clasp
Oh god, oh god, oh god, oh god
Can I not save one from the pitiless wave
Oh god, oh god, oh god, oh god
Oh god, oh god, oh god, oh god
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream
A dream, a dream, a dream (In a dream)
A dream, a dream, a dream (In a dream)
A dream, a dream, a dream (In a dream)
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream
