This song was written by M. W. Balfe (1808-1870). Michael W. Balfe managed the Lyceum Theatre (then known as Theatre Royal, English Opera) in 1841. He also wrote the ballad opera The Bohemian Girl which opened at London's Drury Lane Theatre in 1843 and also featured the song Killarney. |
I dreamt that I dwelt in marble halls, With vassals and serfs at my side, And of all who assembled within those walls, That I was the hope and the pride. I had riches too great to count Could boast of a high ancestral name; But I also dreamt, which pleased me most, That you lov'd me still the same That you lov'd me, you lov'd me still the same, That you lov'd me, you lov'd me still the same. I dreamt that suitors sought my hand; That knights upon bended knee, And with vows no maiden heart could withstand They pledg'd their faith to me; And I dreamt that one of that noble host Came forth my hand to claim. But I also dreamt, which pleased me most, That you lov'd me still the same That you lov'd me, you lov'd me still the same, That you lov'd me, you lov'd me still the same. |
