Full Lyrics
I have something sweet to tell you,
But the secret you must keep;
And remember, if it isn’t right,
I’m “talking in my sleep.”
For I know I am but dreaming,
When I think your love is mine;
And I know they are but seeming,
All the hopes that round me shine.
So remember, when I tell you
What I cannot longer keep,
We are none of us responsible
For what we say in sleep.
My pretty secret’s coming!
O, listen with your heart;
And you shall hear it humming,
So close ’twill make you start.
O, shut your eyes so earnest,
Or mine will wildly weep’
I love you! I adore you! but—
“I’m talking in my sleep!”
