When shades enfold
The sunset's gold
And stars are bright above again
I smile, sweetheart
For then I know I can start
To live again, to love again
When day is done
And night comes on
Until the dawn
What do I do
I clasp your hand
And wander through slumberland
Dream-dancing with you
We dance between
A sky serene
And fields of green
Sparkling with dew
It's joy sublime
Whenever I spend my time
Dream-dancing with you
Dream-dancing
Oh, what a lucky windfall
Touchung you, clutching you
All the night through
So say you love me, dear
And let me make my career
Dream-dancing
To paradise prancing
Dream-dancing with you
TRIVIA: Fred Astaire recorded his vocal for the soundtrack of
"You'll Never Get Rich", but, although he and Rita Hayworth
danced to the music during the film, his vocal was not used.
