Ive Got A Pocketful Of Dreams lyrics

I'VE GOT A POCKETFUL OF DREAMS
Bing Crosby
- words by John Burke, music by
James V. Monaco
- Johnny Burke wrote this song around an expression he
overheard Bing using.
Bing recorded the song May 23, 1938, with John Scott
Trotter's Orchestra,
and before summer's end it was nestled in the No. 1
position on the pop
music charts. The song remained in the top position for
four weeks, and
stayed on the charts for 17. "Pocketful of Dreams" was
written for the
Paramount movie "Sing You Sinners" starring Bing Crosby,
Fred MacMurray,
Ellen Drew and Donald O'Connor.

Happiness comes with
success
And that I guess is true
But success is more or less
A point
of view

I'm no millionaire
But I'm not the type to care
'Cause
I've got a pocketful of dreams
It's my universe
Even with an empty
purse
'Cause I've got a pocketful of dreams

I wouldn't take the
wealth of Wall Street
For a road where nature trods
And I calculate that
I'm worth my weight
In goldenrods

Lucky, lucky me
I can live in
luxury
'Cause I've got a pocketful of
dreams
