Classic Poem

(with Billy Moll)

VERSE 1

What price happiness?
What price happiness?
Who can truthfully say?
But for ev'ry share with tears we pay.
Love is happiness!
I've had happiness,
But it ended one day.
Now I look at life a different way.

REFRAIN

When skies are cloudy and 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 dreams,
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?
Say!
Just remember that sunshine
Always follows the rain,
So wrap your troubles in dreams,
And dream your troubles away.

VERSE 2

Sorrow's bound to come,
Teach your heart to hum,
Bid your troubles adieu.
Soon you'll see your bluebird fly in view.
You can easily
Learn this melody,
What a wonderful song.
It will cheer you when the day is long.
