I'm sitting alone by the fireside Watching those shadows crawl I'm thinking again of you dear And the days beyond recall Life is so empty without you But no one can take your place So I'm drifting back to dreamland For a glimpse of your dear face I'm drifting back to dreamland For I know I'll find you there With a smile for every tear And a kiss for every care I'm lonesome but I'm happy For I know you wait for me Where the silver sands of dreamland Meets the seas of memory ♪ I'm drifting back to dreamland For I know I'll find you there With a smile for every tear And a kiss for every care I'm lonesome but I'm happy For I know you wait for me Where the silver sands of dreamland Meets the seas of memory
