A Dream Within a Dream Songtext
von Amanda Tosoff

Take this kiss upon the brow.
And in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow —
Ohhh
Ooooh
Ohhhh

You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
Ohhh
Ooooh
Ohhhh


I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand —
How few yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep — while I weep!

O God! Can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! Can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?
Ohhh
Ooooh
Ohhhh
Ohhh
Ooooh
Ohhhh
