I don't know anything about the composers except their names. This was obviously an Italian song which has been translated for Shirley Bassey. Tell me if you know more about the composers, or if you know the original Italian title.

Lyrics:

I spent my night-time

Dreaming that I'm holding you close

Only to wake up

All alone

Crying my heart out

For that's when I miss you the most

Misery is all my heart's ever known

Lost and lonely

That's my destiny

There never seems to be

A moment's happiness for me

Nobody knows what heartache and what torture it can be

To live without your love

Lost and lonely

Still I struggle on

In dreams of love

That comes at night and disappears at dawn

The magic morning

I'll awake and find you haven't gone

It's all I'm dreaming of

Maybe tomorrow

All the dreams I've dreamed will come true

But until then:

Love, where are you?

Lost and lonely

Still I struggle on

In dreams of love

That comes at night and disappears at dawn

The magic morning

I'll awake and find you haven't gone

It's all I'm dreaming of

Maybe tomorrow

All the dreams I've dreamed will come true

But until then:

Love, where are you?
Love, where are you?
Love, where are you?
