About Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams

"Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams" (also known as "Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams (and Dream Your Troubles Away)") is a popular song written by Harry Barris with lyrics by Ted Koehler and Billy Moll, published in 1931. The original 1931 popular hit recording was made by Bing Crosby with the Gus Arnheim Orchestra on March 2, 1931 for Victor Records, but the song has become a standard, recorded by many other artists since. Bing Crosby recorded the song four times over his career as well as performing its film debut in the Mack Sennett short, One More Chance (1931). An outtake from one of the sessions recorded on June 9, 1939 was preserved by blooper compiler Kermit Schafer in which Bing has his most famous “blowup” when he continues singing ad-lib and occasionally risqué words perfectly in tune. “Life's really funny that way. Sang the wrong melodyWe'll play it backSee what it sounds like, hey-hey.“They cut out eight bars,the dirty bastards. I didn't know which eight bars,he was gonna cut. Why don't somebody tell methese things around here?Holy Christ, I'm going off my nut.”

When skies are cloudy and gray
They're only gray for a day
So wrap your troubles in dreams
And dream your troubles away
Until that sunshine peeps through
There's only one thing to do
Just wrap your troubles in dreams
And dream your troubles away
Your castles may tumble
That's fate after all
Life's really funny that way
No use to grumble
Just smile as they fall
Weren't you King for a day
Say! 
Just remember that sunshine 
Always follows the rain
So wrap your troubles in dreams
And dream your troubles away
