WRAP YOUR TROUBLES IN DREAMS (AND DREAM YOUR TROUBLES AWAY)
Words by Ted Koehler and Billy Moll ; music by Harry Barris, ©1931.
As recorded by Mildred Bailey, 1931.

VERSE: 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 diff'rent way.

CHORUS: 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: the sunshine
Always follows the rain,
So wrap your troubles in dreams
Dream your troubles away.
