One Little Dream Of You - Words & Music by Irmgard ʻĀluli

Intro:
Once in the dusk of evening
We had to say "goodbye"
Now though you're miles away dear
Twilight brings you ever to my heart

I lie awake at night, the hours go slowly by
I count the fireflies and dream about your eyes
Those little words we spoke when we said "good-bye"
One little dream of you

I press my pillow close, the teardrops seem to know
That all I can't disclose, belongs to you alone
May Heaven high above, watch over you
One little dream of you

I lie awake at night, the hours go slowly by
Dreaming of star lit skies. Dreaming of paradise
Soft musc, laughter, you, and a kiss or two
One little dream of you

I hug my pillow tight and dream into the night
Dreaming of all your charms and that you're in my arms
Dreaming this dream come true and I'm home with you
One little dream of you, my dear

One little dream of you
