Cole Porter
Goodbye, Little Dream, Goodbye
[HOPE]
I first knew love's delight
When presto, out of the blue
A dream appeared one night
And whispered, "How do you do?"
I knew I was tempting fate
But I took it straight to my heart
My fears were right
And now we must part

Goodbye, little dream, goodbye
You made my romance sublime
Now it's time to fly
For the stars have fled
From the heavens
The moon's deserted the hill
And the sultry breeze
That sang in the trees
Is suddenly strangely still

It's done, little dream, it's done
So bid me a fond farewell
We both had our fun
Was it Romeo or Juliet
Who said, when about to die
Love is not all peaches and cream
Little dream, goodbye
