Originally written by Stephen Foster in 1864. This is my arrangement of his piece. Many people will recognize this song from their childhood.
The Devil, himself, has 4 main musically inclined artists. God borrowed one for a 60-year gig and I'm the replacement.
Story behind the song
I was inspired to compose my own rendition of this song after reading a very beautiful blog: http://beautifuldreamer.wordpress.com
Lyrics
Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me,
Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee;
Sounds of the rude world, heard in the day,
Lull'd by the moonlight have all pass'd away!
Beautiful dreamer, queen of my song,
List while I woo thee with soft melody;
Gone are the cares of life's busy throng,
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
Beautiful dreamer, out on the sea
Mermaids are chanting the wild lorelie;
Over the streamlet vapors are borne,
Waiting to fade at the bright coming morn.
Beautiful dreamer, beam on my heart,
E'en as the morn on the streamlet and sea;
Then will all clouds of sorrow depart,
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!
