Beautiful Dreamer

Words & Music:

Stephen Foster

 

C                  Dm

Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me,

G7                                     C

Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee.

C                        Dm

Sounds of the ruse world heard in the day,

G7                                      C

Lulled by the moonlight have all passed away.

 

G7                 C

Beautiful dreamer, queen of my song,

Am               D7        G7

List while I woo thee with soft melody.

C                     Dm

Gone are the cares of life's busy throng,

G7                            C  E7  Am

Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me,

F         C        G7         C

Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me.

 

Beautiful dreamer, out on the sea

Mermaids are chanting the wild Lorelei,

Over the streamlet vapors are borne

Waiting to fade at the bright coming morn.

Beautiful dreamer, beam on my heart

E'en as the morn on the streamlet and sea,

Then will all clouds of sorrow depart.

Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me

Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me

 

 

"List" = "listen"
