Lyrics
While in slumberland I dreamed
A dream so beautiful
While in slumberland I seemed
To hear the sweetest melody
Sweetest melody
It seemed that melody dear
Had journeyed year after year
Then stopped to rest in my ear
Seeming to know it was welcome
But soon when I woke again
I found that beautiful strain
Had left me crying in vain
Come back, come back again
Seems an angel from above
Had sent that melody
To remind me of my love
That vanished like my melody
Like my melody dream
