TOLD ME I WAS DREAMING-. Copyright, 1889, by J. C. Groene & Co. Words by Samuel Minturn Peck. Music by Walter A. Phillips. 
The amber beams were flitting from meadow newly mown, My love and I were sitting in the waning light alone; I told her of my passion and the hope I had at stake, She said that I was dreaming, she said that I was dreaming, She said that I was dreaming, ah, let me never wake. 
The mellow glow grew dimmer. I clasp'd her hand in mine, The stars began to glimmer above the drowsy pine; I said their beams were shining the brighter for her sake, She told me I was dreaming, she told me I was dreaming, She told me I was dreaming, ah, let me never wake. 
I felt her fingers tremble, the tear drops I could see, Her heart could not dissemble the love she bore for me; I whispered, were you faithless, sweetheart, my heart would break, If loving is but dreaming, ah, let me never wake, If loving is but dreaming, ah, let me never wake.
