I DON'T HAVE TO DREAM AGAIN
From the film "Colleen" (1936)
(Music: Harry Warren / Lyrics: Al Dubin)


Dick Powell (Film Soundtrack) - 1936



Although my dreams were always pleasant
You were never present in my land of dreams
And then you came along to wake me
Came along to make me realise the dreams 
Were cold and blue after seeing you

Oh, I don't have to dream again
Never have to beam again
Now I know how empty all my dreams will be
When you're so lovely in reality

You're a breath of Spring, with all its sweet perfume
I hear violins when you walk in the room

So I don't want to dream again, my dear
Not as long as you are here
Dreams are only dreams, but you are really true
So if I only get a glimpse of you 
Ev'ry now and then
I don't have to dream again
