Have you ever recollection of hearing the following lyrics at anytime, my father use to sing them and he has now passed away and we would love a copy of a recording of them but we are drawing blanks eveywhere we go, he would have been 85 years old this year.

Many thanks
Sharon


All of the day I go dreaming
And in the night time too
I'm seeking a face that I dream of
It seems no one else will do
Off on cloud I going sailing
I'm searching the whole world through
But still there's no end to my rainbow
Why don't my dreams come true


All of the day I go dreaming
and in the night time too
I'm seeking a face that I dream of
It seems no one else will do
Off on cloud I going sailing
I'm searching the whole world through
But still there's no end to my rainbow
Why don't my dreams come true

Any idea, Sharon, of who might have sung it? Can't find anything quickly, so might need a clue to start it off? Thanks

Scroll to the bottom of this page for a sound sample of this song. Some of the other search results I got from Google.com included references to barber shop quartet music, so it seems to be used for that a lot.

Coon Sanders Nighthawks Orchestra: Why Don't My Dreams Come True

About halfway through the song is when the singing starts. Slight differences to the lyrics given in this thread.

The names credited for this song are John Flood / George E. Patton.

And before anyone goes off on a detour in this thread about the name of the above Orchestra - one of the founders of the Orchestra was called Carelton Coon.

By the way, in doing a Google search for this song I stumbled on a site which has mp3 files of Wurlitzer organs. Unfortunately there wasn't a file of this song, but it was mentioned as being included on one of the rolls. So, Libby, thanks for asking this question because I have just listened to some of those sound files and they are fun.

To hear other 165 band organ tunes, played on real Wurlitzer Style 165 band organ

Firstly thanks to everyone who has replied this is the 1st time in seven years of searching I have ever come close , I don't know who originally sang it just something I grew up with. I clicked on the website Helen left "Coon Sanders Nighthawks Orchestra: Why Don't My Dreams Come True " but I haven't figured out how to listen to it yet.
Sorry for the delay in replying I had give up hope thankyou very much you are very kind

Hi Sharon,

I had trouble playing the file by clicking the link, too, but I opened the RealAudio program, which you can download for free from the Internet. If you don't already have it you can go to www.realaudio.com and get a copy.

I had to open up RealAudio myself and then copy the music link for the song (by right-mouse-clicking the link and choosing "copy") and then go to the File menu on RealAudio and choose Open Location, paste the copied link in and click OK. Then, you cross your fingers - an essential part of computer technology - and hope it works.

Also, there is a
CD available at Amazon.com with sound sample

You can hear it either with RealAudio or Windows Media. (I prefer Winamp, it's a bit more reliable that RA. If you have a PC then it probably came with a version of Windows Media or Winamp. This sound sample doesn't get to the singing part, just the instrumental.

There is also a copy of the 1923

Sheet music available
