Beautiful Dreamer

i remember my nana singing this song to me while she played the organ. she used to do it every afternoon after i had eaten my snack (a peanut butter and jelly sandwich cut into the shape of sailboats). she doesn't always remember my voice when i call her but she still remembers the lyrics to that song. before her stroke she had the most beautiful voice ive ever heard. i can still hear it sometimes as i listen to the song:

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!
