If You Can't Have The Girl Of Your Dreams

Lyric: Joe Young
Music: Harry Warren
Year: 1930
Original publisher: Remick Music Corp.

Verse 1:

Summer time brings
A mem'ry that clings,
Of the summer nights I once knew;
A love that was bright,
A heart that was light,
But tonight I am feeling so blue;

Chorus:

What good is the lane,
What good is the moon,
If you can't have the girl of your dreams?
What good are the trees
That sigh in the breeze?
They just make you lonesome, it seems.
What good is the evening with all of its bliss,
When no one is caring and sharing your kiss?
What good is the lane,
What good is the moon,
If you can't have the girl of your dreams?

Verse 2:

Same little nook,
The same silv'ry brook,
What a hideaway we found here.
The same garden spot
Where we cared a lot,
But tonight it's so empty and drear.

[Chorus]
