IF I AM SITTING CLOSE TO YOU, by JESSIE DOWNS BELKNAP First Line: The dreams I dream will all come true Last Line: If I am sitting close to you. Subject(s): Dreams; Nightmares | ||||||||
The dreams I dream will all come true, My riches will be more than gold; If I am sitting close to you. My life will all begin anew, Each day new beauties will unfold, The dreams I dream will all come true. Sad lonely days now we are through, My happiness cannot be told, If I am sitting close to you. A little house with sunny view, Well sheltered from the storm and cold, The dreams I dream will all come true. My skies will be a lovely blue, Sweet joy and peace this world will hold, If I am sitting close to you. Now vexing care, adieu, adieu! Gone are the dreamy days of old, The dreams I dream will all come true, If I am sitting close to you. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VARIATIONS: 14 by CONRAD AIKEN VARIATIONS: 18 by CONRAD AIKEN LIVE IT THROUGH by DAVID IGNATOW A DREAM OF GAMES by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE DREAM OF WAKING by RANDALL JARRELL APOLOGY FOR BAD DREAMS by ROBINSON JEFFERS GIVE YOUR WISH LIGHT by ROBINSON JEFFERS |
