If only in dreams,
If only in dreams you'd come,
So lonely am I, so very lonely,
If only in dreams you'd come,
So lonely am I, so very lonely,
If only in dreams you'd come.
Extinguish the lamps of memory in my mind,
Erase, my friend, the world of my feeling,
The night brings not stars, but embers aflame,
Quench these falling flames, my friend,
Lull my heart's beat to sleep,
So lonely am I, so very lonely,
If only in dreams you'd come.
When in the dark night, the moon begins to bloom,
I weep, lighting the lamps of your love,
When the hope of your coming begins to fade,
I extinguish those lamps myself, and weep,
Erase this life like this,
So lonely am I, so very lonely,
If only in dreams you'd come.
Thinking and thinking, until thought itself dies,
I listen to the footsteps of time,
When tears cease, the smoke of sighs arises,
All night I writhe so, and wander on,
Lessen these tides of sorrow somehow,
So lonely am I, so very lonely,
If only in dreams you'd come.
