Verse 1 When the world goes wrong, as it's bound to do And you've broken Dan Cupid's bow. And you long for the girl you used to love The maid of the long ago. Why, light your pipe, bid sorrow avaunt Blow the smoke from your altar of dreams And wreathe the face of your dream girl there The love that is just what it seems Refrain The girl of my dreams is the sweetest girl Of all the girls I know. Each sweet coed, like a rainbow trail Fades in the afterglow. The blue of her eyes and the gold of her hair Are a blend of the western skies; And the moonlight beams on the girl of my dreams She's the Sweetheart of Sigma Chi. Verse 2 Ev'ry magic breeze wafts a kiss to you From the lips of your "sweet sixteen." And one by one the maids you knew Bow to your Meerschaum Queen. As the years drift by on the tides of time, And they all have forgotten but you, Then the girl of your dreams the sweeter seems, She's the girl who is always true.
