adapted from Johann Strauss II's "An Der Schonen Blauen Donau"

Deanna Durbin & Chorus (Film Soundtrack) - 1940



(Home of my dreams, tomorrow I'll be)
(Where all of my dreams are waiting for me)
(I know all your charms from story and song)
(And soon I will be, I will be in your arms where I belong)

(Every rock and rill, every distant hill)
(Told me of you, how they love you)
(Every rippling stream seems to know the theme)
(Of the song they sing within the city of my dreams)

(A soldier passing by, a maid with downcast eye)
(A word, a sigh, a glance)
(And you know you have found)
The city of romance

Soft as the river that flows, music fills the night
On and on forever it goes, thrilling with delight

Down a shady lane couples walk to and fro
Whispering low, "I love you so"
You will find in their song 
Dreams I've been dreaming so long

Still is the night that tiptoes away
The stars that are bright will fade with the day
But when I awake, the morning will say arise and rejoice
For it seems you are dreaming, dreaming

Home of my dreams

Deanna Durbin w Orch dir by Charles Previn


Still is the night
That tiptoes away,
The stars that are bright
Will fade with the day;
But when I awake,
The morning will say,
"Arise and rejoice,
For it seems you are dreaming, dreaming!".

(scat)
Home of my dream.
