By Isham Jones & Gus Khan1924
A huge hit of the mid 1920s, this beautiful love ballad has since become a standard, particularly for the guitar. This is usually credited to its later recording by the legendary Django Reinhardt. It's title was used as the title of the biopic on Kahn's life. The song was introduced by Jones (pictured) and the Ray Miller Orchestra. It is a classic example of the sentimental yet deeply endearing tunes of the era.
Lyrics:
I'll see you in my dreams
And I'll hold you in my dreams
Someone took you right out of my arms
Still I feel the thrill of your charms
Lips that once were mine
Tender eyes that shine
They will light my way tonight
I'll see you in my dreams
Oh, someone took you right out of my arms
Still I feel the thrill of your charms
Lips that once were mine
Tender eyes that shine
They will light my way tonight
I'll see you in my dreams

Nice choice. Thanks for the site.
My dad passed away three weeks ago today from congestive heart failure along with a multitude of other complications. He loved this kind of music. I enjoy it too. Thank you for sharing. I'll have to visit more often.
George Harrison's Somewhere in England album covered a couple of Hoagy Carmichael tunes. I picked up some more Hoagie, and next thing I knew, thanks to George Harrison, I become a fan of the Great American Songbook.
My pleasure! I love sharing this type of music.
