Lyrics
  • My Dream Girl Verse: In an old fashioned garden oft times I roam, alone with my thoughts and my dreams, Fragrance of roses, flowers help cheer me, mem’ries bring sunshine it seems
  • Mem’ries that come from the mist, dear, when my thoughts to the past quickly fly. Refrain: You are my dream girl, beautiful dream girl, just for me it seems. God put the sunshine into your smile, into your hair the moon’s bright beams, Into your lips the reddest of roses, then made your teeth of pearl! The blue of the skies, he put in your eyes
  • you are my dream, dream girl. Verse: Alone in my garden happiness comes, the thrill of my soul over pow’rs, Songbirds sing sweeter, love seems to linger, as does the fragrance of flow’rs
  • Flowers that bring sweet remembrance, what bliss when alone, dear, with thee. Refrain
