“Beautiful Dreamer
by Stephen Foster

Beautiful dreamer wake unto me

Starlight and moonbeams are waiting for thee

Sounds of the rude world, heard in the day

Lulled by the moonlight have all passed away

Beautiful dreamer, King of my song

List while I woo thee with soft melody

Gone are the cares of life’s busy throng

Beautiful dreamer awake unto me

Beautiful dreamer wake unto me
