I had a dream last night
:I had a dream last night
Dream of a friend that is dead
:Dream of a friend that is dead
He came with dawn's first light
:He came with dawn's first light
And stood beside my bed:
:And stood beside my bed:
And as he there did stand,
:And as he there did stand,
With gesture fine and fair,
:With gesture fine and fair,
He passed a wan white hand
:He passed a wan white hand
Over my tumbled hair,
:Over my tumbled hair,
Saying: "No friendship dieth
:Saying: "No friendship dieth
With death of any day,
:With death of any day,
No true friendship lieth
:No true friendship lieth
Cold with lifeless clay.
:Cold with lifeless clay.
<br>


:"Though our boyhood's playtime,
"Though our boyhood's playtime,
:Be gone with summer's breath,  
Be gone with summer's breath,  
:No friendship fades with Maytime
No friendship fades with Maytime
:No friendship dies with death."
No friendship dies with death."
:Then answer had I made
Then answer had I made
:But that the rapture deep
But that the rapture deep
:Did hold me, half afraid
Did hold me, half afraid
:To mar that rose of sleep
To mar that rose of sleep
:So with closed eyes I lay,
So with closed eyes I lay,
:Lord of the vision fair;
Lord of the vision fair;
:And when 'twas perfect day
And when 'twas perfect day
:Only the day was there.
Only the day was there.

I had a dream last night
Dream of a friend that is dead
He came with dawn's first light
And stood beside my bed:
And as he there did stand,
With gesture fine and fair,
He passed a wan white hand
Over my tumbled hair,
Saying: "No friendship dieth
With death of any day,
No true friendship lieth
Cold with lifeless clay.

"Though our boyhood's playtime,
Be gone with summer's breath,
No friendship fades with Maytime
No friendship dies with death."
Then answer had I made
But that the rapture deep
Did hold me, half afraid
To mar that rose of sleep
So with closed eyes I lay,
Lord of the vision fair;
And when 'twas perfect day
Only the day was there.

Lyrics: Julian Sturgis - ( 1848 - 1904 )
