Perry Como Wednesday Night Music Hall Lyrics
1.Door Of Dreams

There's a door of dreams that only lovers know
Through that door of dreams, just those in love may go
Every moment i love you more and more it seems
Say you'll walk with me through the door of dreams!

We don't need a 'lover's moon' in the sky
Or the fragrance of a rose in july
Or the magic of a star standing by, above you
If you'll only say 'i love you!'

There's a door of dreams that only lovers know
Through that door of dreams, just those in love may go
Every moment i love you more and more it seems
Say you'll walk with me through the door of dreams!

There's a door of dreams that only lovers know
Through that door of dreams, just those in love may go
Every moment i love you more and more it seems
Say you'll walk with me through the door of dreams!

Come my love with me,
Through the door of dreams!


2.Love Of My Life

Love of my life, life of my love,
I used to pray and pray you'd hear me . . .
Love of my life,
Angels above sent you at last to stay always near me . . .

Now, we are one, never to part,
And never more need i implore you to miss me,
Come to my arms, come to my heart, kiss me, kiss me,
Come to me, come to me, love of my life . . .

< instrumental verse >

Now, we are one, never to part,
And never more need i implore you to miss me,
Come to my arms, come to my heart, kiss me, kiss me,
Come to me, come to me, love of my life . . .


3.Roses Of Picardy

Roses are shining in picardy
In the hush of the silvery dew
Roses are flowering in picardy
But there's never a rose like you!

And the roses will die with the summertime
And our roads may be far, far apart
But there's one rose that dies not in picardy
'tis the rose that i keep in my heart!

< instrumental break >

But there's never a rose like you!

And the roses will die with the summertime
And our roads may be far, far apart
But there's one rose that dies not in picardy
'tis the rose that i keep in my heart!


4.Keep It Gay

Keep it gay, keep it light, keep it fresh, keep it fair,
Let it bloom every night, give it room, give it air
Keep your love a lovely dream an' never wake it
Make it happy an' be happy as you make it!

Let it sing like a nightingale in may, keep it gay
Keep it free or you'll frighten it away!
Take it easy and enjoy it, while you take it
Keep it gay, keep it gay, keep it gay!

< instrumental break >

Keep it gay ( keep it gay! ) keep it light ( keep it light! )
Keep it fresh ( keep it fresh! ) keep it fair ( keep it fair! )
Let it bloom ( let it bloom! ) every night ( every night! )
Give it room, give it air
Keep your love a lovely dream an' never wake it
Make it happy an' be happy as you make it!

Let it sing like a nightingale in may, keep it gay
Keep it free or you'll frighten it away!
Take it easy and enjoy it, while you take it
Keep it gay, keep it gay, keep it gay!


5.All Through The Day

All through the day, i dream about the night
I dream about the night here with you
All through the day, i wish away the time
Until the time when i'm here with you

Down falls the sun, i run to meet you
The evening mist melts away!
Down smiles the moon, and soon your lips recall
The kiss i dreamed of, all through the day!

< instrumental break >

All through the day, i wish away the time
Until the time when i'm here with you

Down falls the sun, i run to meet you
The evening mist melts away!
And down smiles the moon, and soon your lips recall
The kiss i dreamed of, all through the day!


6.Dreamer's Holiday

Climb aboard a butterfly,
An' take off on the breeze,
Let your worries flutter by,
An' do the things you please,
In a land where dollar bills,
Are fallin' off the trees,
On a dreamer's holiday!

Every day for breakfast,
There's a dish of scrambled stars,
An' for lunchin' you'll be munchin'
Rainbow candy bars,
You'll be livin' a la mode,
On jupiter and mars,
On a dreamer's holiday!

Make it a long vacation,
Time, there is plenty of,
You need no reservation,
Just bring along the one you love!

Help yourself to happiness,
An' sprinkle it with mirth,
Close your eyes an' concentrate,
An' dream for all you're worth,
You will feel terrific,
When you get back down to earth,
From a dreamer's holiday!

You, climb aboard a butterfly,
An' take off on the breeze,
Let your worries flutter by,
An' do the things you please,
In a land where dollar bills,
Are fallin' off the trees,
On a dreamer's holiday!

Every day for breakfast,
There's a dish of scrambled stars,
And for lunchin' you'll be munchin'
Rainbow candy bars,
You'll be livin' a la mode,

On a dreamer's holiday!

Come on, we're gonna make it a long vacation,
Time, there is plenty of,
You need no reservation,
Just bring along the one you love!

Help yourself to happiness,
An' sprinkle it with mirth,
Close your eyes an' concentrate,
An' dream for all you're worth,
You will feel terrific,
When you get back down to earth,
From a dreamer's holiday!


7.So Far

We have nothing to remember so far, so far,
So far, we haven't walked by night and shared the light of the
star
So far, your heart has never fluttered so near, so near
That my own heart alone could hear it!

We haven't gone beyond the very beginning
We've just begun to know how lucky we are
So we have nothing to remember so far, so far,
But now i'm face to face with you, and now at last we've met
And now we can look forward to the things we'll never forget!

< instrumental break >

But now i'm face to face with you, and now at last we've met
And now we can look forward to the things we'll never forget!

9.When You're Smiling

When you're smilin'
When you're smilin'
The whole world smiles with you.
When you're laughin'
When you're laughin'
The sun comes shinin' through.
But, when you're cryin',
You bring on the rain,
So, stop you're sighin',
Be happy again!
Keep on smilin'
'cause when you're smilin'
The whole world smiles with you.

When you're smilin'
When you are smilin'
The whole world smiles with you.
An' when you're laughin'
An' really laughin'
The sun comes shinin' through.

But, when you're cryin',
You bring on the rain,
So, stop you're sighin',
And be happy again!
Oh! keep on smilin' ( keep right on smilin' )
'cause when you're smilin' ( 'cause when you're smilin' )
The whole world smiles with you.

Keep on smilin'
'cause when you're smilin'
The whole world smiles with you!


10.If Wishes Were Kisses

If wishes were kisses, i'd still be kissing you
I'd hold you in my arms again the way i used to do
If wishes were kisses, how happy i would be
I'd always have you close to me to thrill me through an' through
If dreamers were schemers, i'd make my dream come true
If wishes were kisses, i'd still be kissing you!

< instrumental break >
