If You Are But a Dream

V-Discs present, For The Record

With Frank Sinatra, Raymond Paige and his Orchestra

And as your master of V-Discs, here is Deems Taylor

Thank you, Mr. Costello, and good evening

More than a quarter of a million V-Discs go overseas every month

And you can imagine what joy and contentment they bring to our men

Yeah, especially when Bing sings

Who said that?

Me

Why, hello, Frank Sinatra

Glad to see you, Deems

Thank you for the wonderful introduction

And it's a pleasure being in this show and makin' some more V-Discs

For the men overseas

I hope it might help make their loads just a little bit lighter

And now I'd like to sing a song that's fast becoming a big favorite

It's called If You Are But A Dream

So with the help of Raymond Paige and his thirty-five fine men and women

I'd like to make a V-Disc of this tune right now

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 you're 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 should break up

I hope I never wake up

If you are but a dream

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 should break up

I hope I never wake up

If you are but a dream
