If only dreams were true

Again I'd run and leap in glee,

My Father eagerly watching me,

No sweeter joy could ever be,

If only dreams were true!

Again the golden lane we'd strole,

My fears and tears He would console,

An answered prayer to thrill my soul,

If only dreams were true!

Again those melodies, I'd sing,

My Father's voice accompanying,

Gladness in our home t'would bring,

If only dreams were true!

Again I'd sit down at His feet,

His ancient tales to fondly greet,

An earthly paradise complete,

If only dreams were true!
