I long to kiss you

Lyrics of "If You Are But a Dream"
Sung by Frank Sinatra
If you are but a dream
I hope I never waken
It's more than I could bear
To find that I'm forsaken
I hope I never waken
It's more than I could bear
To find that I'm forsaken
If you're a fantasy
Then I'm content to be
In love with lovely you
And pray my dream comes true.
Then I'm content to be
In love with lovely you
And pray my dream comes true.
I long to kiss you
But I would not dare
I'm so afraid that
You may vanish in the air
So darling
If our romance would break up
I hope I never wake up
If you are but a dream.
If our romance would break up
I hope I never wake up
If you are but a dream.
Songwriters: Jack Fulton / Moe Jaffe / Nat Bonx
