About this book
Thoughts : Valse
Author: Alford, Kenneth J., 1881-1945
Year: 1917
[Verse 1] Today I am dreaming of Springtime, / Of trees that are bursting in bloom / Of mating birds cooing and singing and telling of love in each tune. / Today I am longingly dreaming of you and the love that you told, / I’m dreaming of days long departed, / The days that were gilded with gold. [Chorus] In the days that were gilded with gold / The sweetest of love tales were told / Our hearts knew no pain / And sorrow seemed vain, / In the days that were gilded with gold, / Our dreams were as light phantasies / And hope boundless as wide seas / The stars in their glory oft whispered love’s story, / In the days that were gilded with gold. [Verse 2] Today I am dreaming of Springtime, / But Autumn is deep in my heart / Where flow’rs [flowers] of affection have faded, / Faith’s dead leaves no fragrance impart. / But just for today I’m forgetting your love grew inconstant and cold, I’m dreaming of dear days departed, / The days that were gilded with gold.
