Come visit my channel and step back into any year since 1900 -i've made 112 playlist covering every year & there are 600 more lists by artist & genre besides!

When I was a teen (MANY years ago) this was one of the "show tunes" (Rio Rita) we played in a drum and bugle corp on single valve bugles. Great tune in march time. Those were the days.

[adriandell]

anyone has the lyrics for: You're always in my arms?

[StepsInTime]

I knew you'd come some happy day, I knew we'd meet.

I knew you'd love me a while, then leave me.

I knew you'd come along my way, make dreams complete.

I knew you wouldn't be mine for long.

But why give me one ray of happiness, only to leave me so lonely?

You're always in my arms, but only in my dreams. In dreams you're always near, sweetheart.

We're always neath the palms, so happy then it seems, so near and yet so far apart.

If I could only hold you really, tell you of my love, sincerely.

[StepsInTime]

How I adore your charms, you're always in my arms, in dreams. But only in my dreams.

If I could only hold you really, tell you of my love, sincerely.

I'd love to think up schemes, to take you out of dreams.

And wake to find you in my arms.

Hope that helps! It really is a lovely song. The whole show/film is just beautiful. And sorry if some of the lyrics are a little wrong. I used to have it memorized, but it's been a while.

Terrific! But did you know that the climax on side two cuts off prematurely? It was like having the telephone ring during sex. Thanks.

Lovely to listen to. Lovely songs. Thanks for posting.

[gmmix]

Delightful.  Many thanks for this video.

One of the most beautiful songs in this medley is the waltz, "You're Always in my Arms, But Only in My Dreams." Other than this recording and one I have of Bebe Daniels singing it, I've never heard anyone record it.

[nedsparks]

A very sweet medley. Harry Tierney wrote so many lovely melodies. There are a dozen versions of "You're Always In My Arms," including medleys, recorded on British phonograph records.
