River of dreams take me with you tonight 

Lying in your arms we'll drift to 

Islands of wonder that gleam and glow 

Under the stars 

As we glide through the dark 

To the heart of the night 



River of dreams gently hold me again 

I remember all you told me 

All of the secrets you whispered as we crept away 

From the daylight and melted back into the night 



Was I awake or did I dream 

The kiss of waves 

The silver slipstream 

That tumbles as it turns again towards the sea 



River of dreams softly flowing away 

Let me follow where you are going 

And make me a part of you 

Deep in the heart of you 

Let my reflection be clear 

In the water of life 

That tumbles as it turns again towards the night
