When skies are cloudy and grey,
They're only grey for a day,
So wrap your troubles in dreams,
And dream your troubles away.
Until that sunshine peeps through,
There's only one thing to do,
Just wrap your troubles in dreams,
And dream your troubles away.
Your castles may tumble,
That's Fate after all,
Life's really funny that way.
No use to grumble,
Just smile as they fall,
Weren't you King for a day?
Say!
Just remember that sunshine
Always follows the rain,
So wrap your troubles in dreams,
And dream your troubles away.

WRAP YOUR TROUBLES IN DREAMS (George Melly)
as recorded by George Melly
with John Chilton's Feetwarmers 1970's
Sorrow is bound to come,
Teach your heart to hum,
Bid your troubles adieu,
Soon you'll see your bluebird fly in view.
You can easily
Learn his melody;
Just remember that song,
It will help you when the days are long.
When skies are cloudy and grey
They're only grey for a day,
So wrap your troubles in dreams,
And dream your troubles away.
Before the sunshine peeps through,
There's only one thing to do;
Just wrap your troubles in dreams
And dream your troubles away.
Castles may tumble,
That's fate after all,
Life can be funny that way.
No use to grumble,
Just smile as they fall,
Weren't you King for a day, say?
Just remember the sunshine
Always follows the rain,
Wrap your troubles in dreams
And dream your troubles away.
When skies are cloudy and grey
They're only grey for a day,
Wrap your troubles in dreams, wrap 'em in dreams,
And dream your troubles away.
Before the sunshine peeps through,
There's only one thing to do;
Wrap your troubles in dreams
And dream your troubles away.
Castles may tumble,
That's fate after all,
Life can be funny that way.
No use to grumble,
Just smile as they fall,
Weren't you king for a day, say?
Just remember the sunshine
Always follows the rain,
Wrap your troubles in dreams
And dream your troubles away.
Pass all your problems while you dream,
Give your story a happy theme.
Sweep away thoughts about things you hate,
Nothin' can stop you feeling great
When you wrap your troubles in dreams.
