Come Where My Love Lies Dreaming by Stephen Collins Foster — Lyrics
Come where my love lies dreaming,
Dreaming the happy hours away,
In visions bright redeeming
The fleeting joys of day;
My own love is sweetly dreaming
The happy hours away.
Her beauty beaming;
Come with a lute toned lay;
Come with a lute, come with a lay,

The lyrics paint a serene picture of a lover dreaming peacefully, surrounded by happy thoughts and sweet visions. Foster’s musical setting captures this intimate atmosphere with flowing melodies and rich harmonies, creating a warm and comforting soundscape. This piece is ideal for choirs seeking a beautiful, romantic selection that expresses pure contentment and affection through its lyrical content and accessible, yet expressive, vocal writing.
