Dulcinea
Johnny Mathis
Music by Mitch Leigh and Words by Joe Darion

Apparently no one charted this as a single
From the Broadway show "Man Of La Mancha" wherein poor, befuddled Don 
Quixote mistakes a barmaid as his "lady."  He names her "Dulcinea" and, carrying a bar rag 
on his lance as her colors, sallies forth to tilt at windmills.


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

*If I reach out to thee*
Do not tremble or 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
 Dulcinea, Dul  ci  ne  a
