About I Can Dream, Can't I

"I Can Dream, Can't I?," is a popular song written by Sammy Fain with lyrics by Irving Kahal that was published in 1937. It was included in a flop musical, Right This Way. Tommy Dorsey released a hit recording of it the same year, but it was in the postwar years that the song gained its greatest success. Harry James recorded a version in December 1937 for Brunswick. The best-known version was recorded by the Andrews Sisters and Gordon Jenkins' orchestra on July 15, 1949, and released by Decca Records as catalog number 24705. It first reached the Billboard charts on September 16, 1949, reaching number one on all three of the magazine's main pop charts at the time (Best Sellers in Stores, Most Played by Jockeys, and Most Played in Jukeboxes). more »

Dream on, dream on
I can see 
No matter how near you'll be 
You'll never belong to me 

But I can dream, can't I? 
Can't I pretend that I'm locked in the bend of your embrace? 
For dreams are just like wine 
And I am drunk with mine 

I'm aware 
My heart is a sad affair 
There's much disillusion there 

But I can dream, can't I? 
Can't I adore you 
Although we are oceans apart? 
I can't make you open your heart 

But I can dream, can't I? 
I'm aware 
My heart is a sad affair 
There's much disillusion there 

But I can dream, can't I? 
Can't I adore you 
Although we are oceans apart? 
I can't make you open your heart 
But I can dream, can't I? 
Dream on, dream on, dream on

The Andrews Sisters

The Andrews Sisters were a highly successful close harmony singing group of the swing and boogie-woogie eras. The group consisted of three sisters: contralto LaVerne Sophia Andrews (July 6, 1911 – May 8, 1967), soprano Maxene Angelyn Andrews (January 3, 1916 – October 21, 1995), and mezzo-soprano Patricia Marie "Patty" Andrews (born February 16, 1918). Throughout their long career, the sisters sold well over 75 million records (the last official count released by MCA Records in the mid-1970s). Their 1941 hit "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" can be considered an early example of rhythm and blues or jump blues. more »
