Dulcinea

Ah, sweet sovereign of my captive heart.

I shall not fail thee, for I know...

I have dreamed thee too long,

Never seen thee or touched thee.

But known thee with all of my heart.

Half a prayer, half a song,

Thou hast always been with me,

Though we have been always apart.

Dulcinea... Dulcinea...

I see heaven when I see thee, Dulcinea,

And thy name is like a prayer

An angel whispers... Dulcinea... Dulcinea!

If I reach out to thee,

Do not tremble and shrink

From the touch of my hand on thy hair.

Let my fingers but see

Thou art warm and alive,

And no phantom to fade in the air.

Dulcinea... Dulcinea...

I have sought thee, sung thee,

Dreamed thee, Dulcinea!

Now I've found thee,

And the world shall know thy glory,
