The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If you are but a dream
I hope I never 'waken
It's more than I can bear
To find that I'm forsaken
If you're a fantasy
Then I am content to be
In love with lovely
And pray my dreams come true
I long to kiss you
But I would not dare
I am so afraid
That you might vanish in the air
So darling
If our romance should break up
I hope I never wake up
If you are but a dream
