“Wrap Your Trouble in Dreams”

When skies are cloudy and grey
They’re only grey 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 all your troubles away
 
Your castles may tumble, that’s fate after all
Life’s really funny that way
No use to grumble, smile as they fall
Weren’t you king for a day?
 
Just remember that sunshine
Always follows the rain
So wrap your troubles in dreams
And dream your troubles away

Sung by Sinatra; arrangement by Nelson Riddle. From album “Swing Easy” (1954) Lryics by Ted Koehler, music Harry Barris. First Sinatra album with all Riddle arrangemrents.
