Why Must We Always be Dreaming? Lyrics by Sigmund Romberg

Rosalie

1928

(Verse)
On a day
Not far away
But oh, how distant it seems!
I began
To shape and plan
A golden palace of dreams
Gallant and shining and splendid
It grew and grew and grew so beautiful
Soaring high
It touched the sky
All bright and new
And now in smoke it's ended
As castles of dreams always do
(Chorus)
I built it of moonlight and madness
Each stone was a true lover's vow
And ruin and heartache and sadness
Are all that is left of it now
Oh why should love set us a-scheming
If love is to melt like the dew?
And why must we always be dreaming
If dreaming can nevеr come true?
