Someday the silver moon and I
Will go to Dreamland
I will close my eyes
And wake up there in Dreamland
Tell me who will put flowers
On a flower?s grave
Who will say a prayer
Will I meet a China rose there
In Dreamland
Or does love lie bleeding
In Dreamland
Are these days forever and always
And if we are to die tonight
Is there a moonlight up ahead
And if we are to die tonight
Another rose will bloom
For a faded rose
Will I be the one that you save
I love when it showers
But no one puts flowers
On a flower?s grave
As one rose blooms and another will die
It?s always been that way
I remember the showers
But no one puts flowers
On a flower?s grave
And if we are to die tonight
Is there a moonlight up ahead
I remember the showers
But no one puts flowers
On a flower?s grave
