MY REVERIE - Vocal with Orchestra<br />Melody based on Claude Debussy's "Reverie"<br />(Larry Clinton)<br />Bing Crosby<br />with Bob Crosby and his Orchestra<br />Decca 2123-A, 1938.<br />(recorded October 14, 1938)<br /><br />I don't know who in my family was the Bing Crosby fan, but there are a lot of his records that have been passed down! "My Reverie" is one that I particularly like and want to share. I am intrigued by popular songs based on classical compositions, and I already knew and loved Debussy's "Reverie" before listening to "My Reverie" for the first time.<br /><br />"Our love is a dream in my reverie.<br />I can see that this love was meant for me.<br />Only a poor fool,<br />Never schooled in the whirlpool<br />Of romance, could be so cruel,<br />As you are to me!<br />My dreams are as worthless as tin to me.<br />Without you, life would never begin to be<br />So, love me,<br />As I love you, in my reverie!<br />Make my dream a reality.<br />Let's dispense with formality.<br />Come to me — in my reverie!"
