I have something sweet to tell you

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 can no longer keep;

We are none of us responsible

For what we may say in sleep.

My pretty secret’s coming,

Oh! listen with your heart;

Then you shall hear it humming

So close it will make you start.

Oh! Shut your eyes so earnest,

For mine will wildly weep;

I love you, I adore you- but

I am walking in my sleep.
