DREAMS COME TUMBLING DOWN
(Sylvia Fine)

as recorded by The Andrews Sisters
with Sy Oliver & his Orchestra


Love is so gay when love is young,
The moon is shinin' and the bells are rung,
But the moon grows old
And love grows cold,
And your dreams come a-tumblin' down!

Words are okay when words are new,
When all the whisperin' they do is true,
Then words deceive
And love takes leave,
And your dreams come tumblin' down!

Once upon a time I swore on my love for ever,
But I was a fool with a heart that was full and he was clever!

And so it goes, when love is gone,
And there is nothin' left to lean upon.
You cry awhile,
Then you learn to smile
When your dreams come tumblin' down,
Tumblin' down,
Tumblin' down,
Tumblin' down,
Tumblin' down!

Love is so gay, love is young,
The moon is shinin' and the bells are rung,
But the moon grows old
And love grows cold,
Then your dreams come tumblin' down!

Words are okay, words are new,
When all the whisperin' they do is true,
The words deceive
And love takes leave,
Then your dreams come tumblin' down!

Once upon a time I swore on my love for ever,
But I was a fool with a heart that was full and he was clever!

So there it goes, your love is gone,
And there is nothin' left to lean upon.
You cry awhile,
Then you learn to smile
When your dreams come tumblin' down!

Once upon a time I swore on my love for ever,
But I was a fool with a heart that was full and he was clever!

And so it goes, when love is gone,
And there is nothin' left to lean upon.
You cry awhile,
Then you learn to smile
When your dreams come tumblin', tumblin' down!
