Come Back To Me In My Dreams
Bill Monroe · Legend Lives On [2005]
On a beautiful cloud you see
So you will know that I want you
In my beautiful memories and dreams
Come back to me in my dreams love
Come back to me in sweet dreams
I'm heartbroke I'm sad and I'm weary
Come back to me in my dreams
When the bright moon shines up in Heaven
And the beautiful stars are a'gleam
It seems that you are so near me
But yet it is only a dream
It seems I'll never more see you
Till we meet in Heaven it seems
But I hold you close to my heart love
In my beautiful memories and dreams
Come Back To Me In My Dreams
