 Rate Ive Got A Pocketful Of Dreams
Artist : Russ Morgan
Song : Ive Got A Pocketful Of Dreams
I'VE GOT A POCKETFUL OF DREAMS
Bing
Crosby
- words by John Burke, music by James
V. Monaco
- Johnny Burke wrote this song
around an expression he overheard Bing
using.
Bing recorded the song May 23, 1938,
with John Scott Trotter's Orchestra,
and
before summer's end it was nestled in the No. 1
position on the pop
music charts. The song
remained in the top position for four weeks,
and
stayed on the charts for 17. "Pocketful of
Dreams" was written for the
Paramount movie
"Sing You Sinners" starring Bing Crosby, Fred
MacMurray,
Ellen Drew and Donald
O'Connor.
Happiness comes with
success
And that I guess is true
But
success is more or less
A point of
view
I'm no millionaire
But I'm not the
type to care
'Cause I've got a pocketful of
dreams
It's my universe
Even with an empty
purse
'Cause I've got a pocketful of
dreams
I wouldn't take the wealth of Wall
Street
For a road where nature trods
And I
calculate that I'm worth my weight
In
goldenrods
Lucky, lucky me
I can live
in luxury
'Cause I've got a pocketful of
dreams
