My Dream Sonata, By James Van Heusen And Mack David Lyrics - Nat King Cole

My dream sonata is the music I hear 

Each night when all the world is deep in slumber 

And in my dreams, my darling, you appear. 

While the music's playing I hear you say, 

"I love you, I love you." 

My dream sonata has the beauty of prayer, 

A prayer my lonely heart has set to music, 

That when I wake, my darling, you'll be there. 

But when I awaken, you're gone, it seems. 

Like my sonata, you are only in my dreams. 

(Instrumental interlude)

My dream sonata has the beauty of prayer, 

A prayer my lonely heart has set to music, 

That when I wake, my darling, you'll be there. 

But when I awaken, you're gone, it seems. 

Like my sonata, you are only in my dreams.
