Beautiful Dreamer

This song tells of a lover serenading a “Beautiful Dreamer,” who is oblivious to all worldly cares. Helen Lightner writes, “This sentimental ballad is folk-like in character with its repetitious but lovely melody and its basic harmonic accompaniment. The quiet and calm of this mood is portrayed by the arpeggiated accompaniment [in the original] and by the repetitiveness of the melodic pattern.” —from Wikipedia
