A Dream of Youth (The Dream is Over) - Noël Coward

Just because we’re lovers

Don’t let’s laugh at fate

Often one discovers

When it is too late

Passion’s so uncertain

Some unfinished rhyme

May bring down the curtain

Long before its time

I love you so, but the dream is over

Days come and go, but the dream is over

I’ve tried to fool myself

School myself into believing

Our love could still go on

But it’s gone beyond retieving

My hopes were vain, like a fool in clover

Never again, for the dream is over
