I'LL SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS - LYRICS
-----------------------------------------------
Music by Isham Jones, lyrics by Gus Kahn
Published 1924

I'll see you in my dreams
And then I'll hold you in my dreams
Someone took you right out of my arms
Still I feel the thrill of your charms

Lips that once were mine
Tender eyes that shine
They will light my way tonight
I'll see you in my dreams

Yes I will... see you in my dreams
You know I'll... hold you in my dreams
I know that... someone took you right out of my arms
But... still I feel the thrill of your charms

I dream of... lips that once were mine
And those... tender eyes that shine
I know... they'll light my way tonight
When I... see you in my dreams

Yes they will... light my way tonight
Because I'll... see you in my dreams

ABOUT THIS TRACK
-------------------------
I'll See You in My Dreams" is a popular song, composed by Isham Jones, with lyrics by Gus Kahn, and published in 1924. It was recorded on December 4 that year, by Isham Jones conducting Ray Miller's Orchestra. Released on Brunswick Records, it charted for 16 weeks during 1925, spending seven weeks at number 1 in the United States. Other popular versions in 1925 were by Marion Harris; Paul Whiteman; Ford & Glenn; and Lewis James; with three of these four reaching the Top 10.

The song was sung by Jeanne Crain in Margie (1946) and was chosen as the title song of the 1951 film, I'll See You in My Dreams, a musical biography of Kahn.

Popular recordings of it were made by many leading artists, including Cliff Edwards, Louis Armstrong, Bing Crosby (recorded November 27, 1947), Doris Day, Ella Fitzgerald, Mario Lanza, Tony Martin, Anita O'Day, The Platters, Ezio Pinza, Sue Raney, Jerry Lee Lewis (1958, instrumental), Andy Williams,[9] and Linda Scott.[10] A "Texas Swing" version of the song was recorded by Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys.

The song was also recorded by Django Reinhardt and the Quintet of the Hot Club of France, and inspired Merle Travis to record it as a guitar instrumental. Many other guitarists, including Chet Atkins and Thom Bresh, followed in Travis's footsteps. Michel Lelong, a French guitarist, published the first tablature of Travis's arrangement for the American publisher/guitarist Stefan Grossman's Guitar Workshop during the 1980s, following by Thom Bresh (Merle Travis's son) for Homespun Tapes, and Marcel Dadi for Stefan Grossman's Guitar Workshop.

It was recorded by Mario Lanza on his Coca-Cola Show of 1951-2 and is available on a compilation album mastered from those same shows, and featuring the same title, I'll See You in My Dreams, released by BMG in 1998.
