Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams (1954 Version / With Spoken Introduction)

Down at the Grove, we were on the air two hours a night
And we had a great orchestra and a fine arranger to work with
And there was no restraint on using new material

So in this happy situation
Barris wrote like Mickey Spillane up against a deadline
I like this one real good because I got to whistle
And because Will Paley, CBS, prexy, heard it
And he gave me a nice teal on his net

When skies are cloudy in gray
They're only gray 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 dream
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?" Said

Just remember that sunshine
Always follows the rain
So wrap your troubles in dreams
And dream your troubles away

And dream your troubles away
