Hildegarde | I Dream Too Much

You cannot guess
What loveliness belongs to you
If you would dance
We'd have a chance
To share it too
I am not gay enough to share a waltz
Tonight I boast one of my most unhappy faults
I dream too much
But if I dream too much
I only dream to touch your heart again
I close my eyes to see
Your hand, your smile, your joy in loving me
We dance and sing
We steal a touch of spring
I dream of everything we two have known
And yet my dreams have shown
Perhaps I dream too much alone...

If anyone has a recording date or other info, that would be appreciated. :)

@KidMillions I think it was recorded in 1935. Hildegarde Loretta Sell...born in Adell Wisconsin 1906,died 7/29/2005 go here for lyrics: Lyrics Playground

I've tried to post the link Youtube won't let me sorry.

@Rubiglo Yes, it's a 1935 song but I think the recording sounds more 1940s... In 1935 she was only 29 and her voice sounds older here. Compare with the 'In the Mood for Love' video from 1933.... This Life cover by the way is from April 1939.

i have always love Hildegarde and this is one of her loveliest thank you so much incredible

It sounds late 40s to me. Hildy made loads of records with Carroll Gibbons in the 30s, but I doubt that this one dates from that period. The orchestra could be that of Peter Yorke.
