I'll See You In My Dreams (Concert For George)
George Harrison · Other Songs - George Harrison
Twilight sings a song
All the happiness that used to be
Soon my eyes will close
Soon I'll find repose
And in dreams
You're always near to me
I'll see you in my dreams
Hold you in my dreams
Someone took you right out of my arms
Still I feel the thrill of your charms
Lips that once were mine
Tender eyes that shine
They will light my way tonight
I'll see you in my dreams
(instrumental break)
Lips that once were mine
Tender eyes that shine
They will light my way tonight
I'll see you in my dreams
They will light my lonely way tonight
I'll...see you in my dreams
