Sinatra, Frank - If You Are But A Dream Lyrics






If you are but a dream
I hope I never waken,
It's more than I could bear
To find that I'm forsaken.

If youre a fantasy
Then I'm content to be
In love with lovely you,
And pray my dream comes true.

I long to kiss you
But I would not dare,
I'm so afraid that
You may vanish in the air,

So darling,
If our romance would break up,
I hope I never wake up,
If you are but a dream.

  1. D.... K....

    Good lord, why can't people love this style of music today more than the auto-tuned one-note wonders you see all over the charts?

    The best recording of the 20th Century.

    This song is featured in the Oscar-winning short film "The House I Live In," starring Frank Sinatra.

  8. I.... K....

    such lovely songs a joy to listen to thank you

  9. M.... L....

    Just beautiful, but I can tell it's 1945, his voice was a couple of notes higher then, but as he aged, he lost a couple in the upper register but gained a couple in the lower register.  However you hear him and whenever, he's still the best there ever was or will be!

    M.... L....

    You said it!

    Beautiful indeed, specially when you know what is described in lyrics feels like... It goes straight to the heart...

    c.... b....

    Me too. I just finished watching the movie, I love the movie and the song.

    c.... b....

    Me too. " Radio Days " has a lot to answer for.

  13. V.... E....

    This is the song that I would have sung to my wife!

    If I could sing, this is the song that I would have sung to my wife!

  15. V.... E....

    If I could sing, this is the song that I would have sung to my wife!

  18. K.... G....

    If you are but a dream
    I hope I never waken,
    It's more than I could bear
    To find that I'm forsaken.

    If youre a fantasy
    Then I'm content to be
    In love with lovely you,
    And pray my dream comes true.

    I long to kiss you
    But I would not dare,
    I'm so afraid that
    You may vanish in the air,

    So darling,
    If our romance would break up,
    I hope I never wake up,
    If you are but a dream.

  19. H.... ....

    His voice puts me in a trance. So smooth!

  20. D.... R....

    A fantastic voice attached to a truly despicable human being

    D.... R....

    You came here just for that?

    D.... R....

    I don't think you know what your talking about.

    D.... R....

    What the fuck do really know about him?

    D.... R....

    Are you kidding me?

    D.... R....

    Darryl. He was not perfect, unlike you.

  21. A.... M....

    His voice is just magical.

  22. A.... P....

    Written by Moe Jaffe, Jack Fulton, and Nat Bonx.

  23. N.... H....

    Frank Sinatra admired Mario Lanza and said if he had a voice like Mario's he would put a birdcage around it and not let anyone go near it! Too bad Mario only lived to be 38!

  24. c.... p....

    boy oh boy Axel Stordahl  and Columbia   thats something

  25. T.... H....

    One of the best uses of a song in a movie (in my opinion!)  was this song in Woody Allen's "Radio Days." To me the song and scene were perfect together. I'm not a critic so I don't know how else to say it.  But if nothing else, the film led me to this song.

    T.... H....

    I'd not heard this song until watching Radio Days,and thankfully Woody played the entire song,not just a snippet.It soon became one of my very favourite Sinatra tracks. His vulnerability is so captivating in this beautiful rendition of a terrific song.

    T.... H....

    just watched this scene and the music and the walk around Radio City Music Hall is utterly sublime. I think it's a perfect pairing.

  26. j.... c....

    Beautiful.

  27. d.... ....

    We can't forget Axel Stordahl's gorgeous orchestration as a critical part of  this effort. His masterful use of strings helps this song soar to the reaches of the outer universe. 

    d.... ....

    amen and thank you  Before all else Axel Stordahl was a icon and copied by many thereafter   but not on Colombia Records

    d.... ....

    great arranger arranged all the songs for the essential frank sinatra and the tommy dorsey orchestra

    d.... ....

    A masterpiece. One of my desert island recordings. Never tire of hearing it. FS is so vulnerable as he sings the beautiful lyrics.

  28. d.... ....

     To those who would challenge the appelation "The Voice" bestowed on Frank early in his career I urge them to listen to this recording. It seems operatic in nature with Frank risking it all by taking his God given voice to its limit in conveying the story of the start of a romance that is so unbelievably beautiful that it seems to be almost a fantasy. Thus the lyric: "If you're a fantasy then I'm content to be in love with lovely you."
