Lyrics A Dream of Youth (The Dream is Over) - Noël Coward

A Dream of Youth (The Dream is Over)

Just because we’re lovers
Don’t let’s laugh at fate
Often one discovers
When it is too late
Passion’s so uncertain
Some unfinished rhyme
May bring down the curtain
Long before its time
I love you so, but the dream is over
Days come and go, but the dream is over
I’ve tried to fool myself
School myself into believing
Our love could still go on
But it’s gone beyond retieving
My hopes were vain, like a fool in clover
Never again, for the dream is over
