Loving and dreaming

Ernest Tessier

Let's love! Let's dream! Let our voices commingle!

Let's love! Let's dream! And take each other's hand.

Ah! speak! your voice always thrills me.

Speak again! I feel my whole being

Quiver with love whene'er you talk.

When you are nigh my heart rejoices,

And I see in your eye

Beaming forth, the light of the sky!

Ah, speak! your voice always thrills me!

Speak again! I feel my whole being

O'erflow with rejoicing.

Time is short,

Let us love!

To dream is sweet!

What is love but a dream?

To love! To dream! Should we live without loving?

To dream! To love! That is true happiness.

In dreams we find such a pleasure,

Such a charm, we are both delighted;

They keep up hope within our hearts.

Blest with your love, my soul is happy;

And I see in your eye,

Beaming forth, the light of the sky!

You speak, your voice so affects me!

And a smile enchants my whole being.

For love is my master!

Time is short,

And for us,

Nought is so sweet

As to love and to dream!
