HOME IN THE CLOUDS, A
(Carter / Goodman)

as recorded by
Benny Goodman & his Orchestra
(vocal - Martha Tilton)
February 14th 1939 Philadelphia
(radio transcript)


WE live up in a castle
That's built upon a cloud,
A private little castle
With no-one else allowed,
That's my dream of a home in the clouds with you.

We'll have no need for sandals,
The sky will be our floor,
The stars will be our sandals
That twinkle through our door,
That's my dream of a home in the clouds with you.

While the man in the moon
Scatters silver over the sky,
We can hum any tune,
Make each song a sweet lullaby.

Among our prize possessions
We'll have a radio,
To broadcast our confessions
To folks on earth below,
That's my dream of a home in the clouds with you!
