《i dream a dream》的詞曲作者不詳，歌詞是由喬治·溫特森為舞台劇《夢中夢》所寫。以下是歌曲的部分歌詞：
I dream a dream in a land that's old,
In a land that's fair,
Where my love for life began,
In a land that's new,
In a kingdom of our own.
We were a pair of loves, as fair as you please,
Just as warm and kind as they come.
With our hands upon each other,
we would live out our days in bliss.
Until that cursed night when we lost each other.
The rain poured down in torrents,
the winds blew so strong,
The floods rose and carried us all away.
I woke up alone,
And the world was grey.
But I dream a dream,
And I cling to it so tightly,
In my heart I know it's just a memory.
And I pray to the gods,
That one day we'll meet again.
In a land that's old,
In a land that's new.
