Like a golden dream, in my heart ever smiling,
Lives a vision fair of happy love I knew in days gone by.
Still I seem to hear your laughter beguiling,
Still to see the joy,
The lovelight beaming from your radiant eyes.
Can my dreaming be in vain?
Will my love ne'er come again?
Come, shall we waste the golden hours of youth far apart?
What care I for life without you by my side?
Do not delay, time flies away,
Your arms are my paradise.
You and only you can fill my heart
Like a golden dream in my heart ever smiling
Lives a vision fair of happy love I knew in days gone by.
Oh, star of my heaven
Come back and shed your light upon my way
Come back, my love!
