"""O""" - Russ Morgan Russ Morgan Miscellaneous I've Got A Pocketful Of Dreams 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 -----------------------------------------
