I'll See You In My Dreams


June 1st would’ve been my grandma’s 82nd birthday and this song just broke me down when I heard it: http://ru.truveo.com/joe-brown-ill-see-you-in-my-dreams/id/2847356105


It also makes me think of my friend Andrea’s BEAUTIFUL girl Bridgey-Bridge, whom I love as if she was my own. I only wish I could play the ukulele so I could sing it to her weekly…


To my grandmother and to Bridge:

“I’ll See You In MY Dreams” (1921 old standard)

Performed by Joe Brown


Though the days are long

Twilight sings a song

Of a happiness that used to be

Soon my eyes will close (soon my eyes will close)

Soon I'll find repose

And in dreams, you're always near to me

I'll see you in my dreams

Hold you in my dreams

Someone took you out of my arms

Still, I feel the thrill of your charms

Lips that once were mine

Tender eyes that shine

They will light our way tonight

I'll see you in my dreams

In the dreary gray

Of another day

You are far away and I am blue

Still I hope and pray (still I hope and pray)

Through each weary day

For it brings the night and dreams of you

I'll see you in my dreams

Hold you in my dreams

Someone took you out of my arms

Still, I feel the thrill of your charms

Lips that once were mine

Tender eyes that shine

They will light our way tonight

I'll see you in my dreams

They will light our way tonight

I'll see you in my dreams
