A copy of the lyrics and a list of artists who recorded this magnificent Mercer/Arlen tune would be greatly appreciated.

Ella Fitzgerald did a bunch of "Songbooks" for Verve...one for every major songwriter pretty much. One of the EF Songbooks is "The Johnny Mercer Songbook" and I know it includes This Time the Dream's on Me. I found a copy on tape at my local library and recorded it for myself. I'm sure you could find a copy on the web.

Lyrics: Somewhere, Someday we'll be close together, wait and see. Oh, by the way, this time the dream's on me. You'll take my hand, and you'll look at me adoringly. But as things stand, this time the dream's on me. It would be fun to be certain that I'm the one. To know that I at least supply the shoulder you cry upon. To see you through, till you're everything you want to be. It can't be true but, this time the dream's on me.

I only know of one recording by Allison Krauss on the Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil Soundtrack.

name of this song?

In This Time the Dream's on Me (see lyrics in postings above) there's the line "To be certain that I'm the one, to know that I at least supply the shoulder you cry upon..."

I have really gotten into Johnny Mercer lately. I think his lerics are amazing. I would really like the lyrics to this time the dreams on me and autumn leaves but I can't seem to find them in the sites posted below. Thanks for your help!!
