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
