| About Street of Dreams | |
| “Street of Dreams” has a classic depression-era sense, where love is one of the few things that may be impossible for those with money, but “no one is poor as long as love is sure.” Bing Crosby was the first singer to record “Street of Dreams”, though the Russ Columbo recording was also popular. | |
Lyrics
Love laughs at a king
Kings don’t mean a thing
On the street of dreams
Dreams broken in two
Can be made like new
On the street of dreams
Gold, silver and gold
All you can hold
Is in the moonbeam
Poor, no one is poor
As long as love is sure
On the street of dreams
Gold, silver and gold
All you can hold
Is in the moonbeam
Poor, no one is poor
As long as love is sure
On the street of dreams
