Dream Along With Me

Perry Como Dream Along With Me Lyrics
1.Me And My Shadow

Me and my shadow,
Strolling down the avenue,
Me and my shadow,
Not a soul to tell our troubles to . . .

And when it's twelve o'clock,
We climb the stair,
We never knock,
For nobody's there . . .

Just me and my shadow,
All alone and feelin' blue . . .

< instrumental bridge >

And when it's twelve o'clock,
We climb the stair,
We never knock,
For nobody's there . . .

Just me and my shadow,
All alone and feelin' blue . . .


2.Without A Song

Without a song, the day would never end
Without a song, the road would never bend
When things go wrong, a man ain't got a friend
Without a song!

That field of corn, would never see a plough
That field of corn, would be deserted now
A young one's born, but he's no good no how
Without a song!

I got my trouble an' woe, but sure as i know
The jordan will roll ( roll you river jordan! )
I'll get along as long as a song is strung
In my soul!

I'll never know what makes the rain to fall,
I'll never know what makes the grass so tall,
I only know there ain't no love at all
Without a song!

( i got my trouble an' woe, but sure as i know the jordan will
roll,
I'll get along as long as a song is strung in my soul! )
In my soul!

I'll never know what makes the rain to fall,
I'll never know what makes the grass so tall,
I only know there ain't no love at all
Without a song!


3.More Than You Know

Whether you are here or yonder
Whether you are false or true
Whether you remain or wander
I'm growing fonder, of you!

Even though your friends forsake you
Even though you don't succeed
Wouldn't i be glad to take you
And give you the break you need!

More than you know, more than you know
Girl of my heart, i love you so
Lately i find, you're on my mind
More than you know!

Whether you're right
Whether you're wrong
Girl of my heart, i'll string along
I need you so, more than you'll ever know!

Loving you the way that i do
There's nothin' i can do about it
Loving may be all that you can give
But honey i can't live without it!

Hmmm . . . oh, how i'd cry
Oh, how i'd cry
If you got tired and said goodbye
More than i'd show
More than you'd ever know!


4.Say It Isn't So/blue Skies/here's That Rainy Day

Sing to me, mr. c., sing to me
The song that i've been waiting to hear,
Just for me, mr. c., just for me,
And everybody else will disappear . . .

Say it isn't so, say it isn't so
Everyone is sayin' you don't love me
Say it isn't so!

Everywhere i go
Everyone i know
Whispers that you're growin' tired of me
Say it isn't so!

People say that you
Found somebody new
And it won't be long before you leave me
Say it isn't true!

Say that everything is still ok
That's all i want to know
And what they're sayin'
Say it isn't so!

< instrumental break >

. . . and it won't be long before you leave me
Say it isn't true!

Say that everything is still ok
That's all i want to know
And what they're sayin'
Say it isn't so!

Blue skies, smilin' at me
Nothin' but blue skies do i see
Blue birds singin' a song
Nothin' but blue birds all day long!

Never saw the sun shinin' so bright
Never say things goin' so right
Noticin' the days hurryin' by
When you're in love, my, my how they fly!

Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on!

< instrumental break >

Never saw the sun shinin' so bright
Never say things goin' so right
Noticin' the days hurryin' by
When you're in love, my, my how they fly!

Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on!

Maybe i should have saved
Those left-over dreams
Funny, but here's that rainy day!

Here's that rainy day
They told me about
And i laughed at the thought
That it might turn out this way!

Where is that worn-out wish
That i threw aside,
After it brought my lover near?

Funny how love becomes
A cold rainy day
Funny, that rainy day is here!

< instrumental break >

Funny how love becomes
A cold rainy day
Funny . . .
That rainy day is here!


5.Blue Skies(1946 Version)

Blue skies, smilin' at me
Nothin' but blue skies do i see
Blue birds singin' a song
Nothin' but blue birds all day long!

Never saw the sun shinin' so bright
Never saw things goin' so right
Noticin' the days hurryin' by
When you're in love, my, my how they fly!

Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on!

< instrumental break >

Nothin' but blue skies from now on!

< instrumental break >

Nothin' but blue birds all day long!

Never saw the sun shinin' so bright
Never saw things goin' so right
Noticin' the days hurryin' by
When you're in love, my, my how they fly!

Blue days, all of them gone
Nothin' but blue skies from now on!

< instrumental break >

Nothin' but blue skies from now on!


6.My Melancholy Baby

Come to me my melancholy baby,
Cuddle up and don't be blue . . .
All your fears are foolish fancy, maybe
You know dear that i'm in love with you!

Every cloud must have a silver lining
Wait until the sun shines through
Smile my honey dear, while i kiss away each tear
Or else i shall be melancholy too!

< instrumental break >

Every cloud must have a silver lining
Wait until the sun shines through
Smile my honey dear, while i kiss away each tear
Or else i shall be melancholy too!


7.Girl Of My Dreams

Girl of my dreams, i love you
Honest i do, you are so sweet
If i could just hold your charms
Again in my arms
Then, life would be complete!

Since you've been gone, dear
Life don't seem the same
Please come back again!

And after all's said an' done
There's only one
Girl of my dreams, it's you!

< instrumental break >

Since you've been gone, dear
Life don't seem the same
Please come back again!

And after all's said an' done
There's only one
Girl of my dreams, it's you!


8.Chincherinchee

Where the jungle trees are tall
Grows a flower sweet to see
It's a purdy flower they call 'chincherinchee!'

There a boy sang all day long
To a maiden tenderly
And he called her in his song 'chincherinchee!'

While the tom toms played
He sang his serenade
In the moonlight:
'sweet chincherinchee, you're divine,
Sweet chincherinchee say you're mine!
Say you'll be mine my whole life through!
Sweet chincherinchee, i love you!'

Everyone will agree
She's as sweet as can be
She's so kissable and caress-able 'chincherinchee!'

Everybody can see
How exciting is she
She's embraceable, irreplaceable 'chincherinchee!'

While the tom toms played
He sang his serenade . . .

< instrumental verse >

Every night they used to meet
By a tall banyan tree
Where he sang his heart to sweet 'chincherinchee!'

While the tom toms played
He sang his serenade
In the moonlight:
'sweet chincherinchee, you're divine,
Sweet chincherinchee say you're mine!
Say you'll be mine my whole life through!
Sweet chincherinchee, i love you!'

'sweet chincherinchee, you're divine,
Sweet chincherinchee say you're mine!
Say you'll be mine my whole life through!
Sweet chincherinchee, i love you!'


9.If I Loved You

If i loved you
Time and again i would try to say
All i'd want you to know!

If i loved you
Words wouldn't come in an easy way
'round in circles i'd go!

Longing to tell you
But afraid an' shy
I'd let my golden chances pass me by!

Soon you'd leave me
Off you would go in the mist of day
Never, never to know
How i love you
If i loved you!

< instrumental break >
< repeat last verse >


10.They Say It's Wonderful

They say that falling in love is wonderful
It's wonderful, so they say
And with the moon up above
It's wonderful, it's wonderful, so they tell me!

I can't recall who said it, i know i never read it
I only know they tell me that love is grand, and
The thing that's known as romance is wonderful
Wonderful, in every way, so they say!

< instrumental break >
< repeat last verse >


11.I've Got A Feelin' I'm Fallin'

I'm flyin' high, but i've got a feelin' i'm fallin'
Fallin' for nobody else but you
You caught my eye, and i've got a feelin' i'm fallin'
Show me the ring and i'll jump right through!

I used to travel single-o, we chanced to mingle-o
Now i'm a tingle over you
Hey mister parson stand by, for i've got a feelin' i'm fallin'
Fallin' for nobody else but you!

( yes, it's a plain to see that he's flyin' high
And we've got a feelin' he's fallin' . . . )
I'm a fallin' for nobody else but you!
( no one else will do, since you,
Caught his eye and we've got a feelin' he's fallin' . . . )
I'm a fallin' for nobody else but you!
I used to travel single-o, we chanced to mingle-o
Now i'm a tingle over you
( hey mister parson stand by,
Cause we've got a feelin' he's fallin' . . . )
I'm a fallin' for nobody else but you!
( nobody else will do,
But you . . . )


12.Oh! How I Miss You Tonight

Oh! how i miss you tonight,
Miss you while lights are low
Oh! how i need you tonight,
More than you'll ever know!

Each moment though we're apart
You're never out of my heart
But i'd rather be lonely, and wait for you only
Dear one, how i miss you tonight!
< instrumental >
Miss you while lights are low
< instrumental >
More than you'll ever know!

Each moment though we're apart
You're never out of my heart
But i'd rather be lonely, and wait for you only
Dear one, how i miss you tonight!


13.Dream Along With Me

( i'm on my way to a star )

Dream along with me, i'm on my way to a star
Come along, come along, leave your worries where they are
Up and beyond the sky, watchin' the world roll by
Sharin' a kiss, a sigh, just use your imagination!

On a cloud of love, we'll hear the music of night
We can wink at the moon as we hold each other tight
And if we go in the right direction, heaven can't be very far
Dream along with me, i'm on my way to a star!
< instrumental break >
( we can wink at the moon

And if we go in the right direction, heaven can't be very far
Dream along with me, i'm on my way to a star!
