Lyrics
Hear the music playing an old familiar strain
Dixieland is saying, “Come back to me again”
Back where glances and fond romances
Are mingled with perfume of roses
Memories are turning to days of long ago
And your heart is yearning
For one you used to know
‘Way down yonder, again you wander
It’s all a Kentucky Dream
Sweet memory girl, sweetheart of yore
Sometimes when I’m lonely and blue
No one will do, no one but you, dear
Your voice is far away
Comes back to say, “Kiss me”
Then in fancy I seem
With my Kentucky Dream
Hear the music playing an old familiar strain
Dixieland is saying, “Come back to me again”
Back where glances and fond romances
Are mingled with perfume of roses
Memories are turning to days of long ago
And your heart is yearning
For one you used to know
Naught can sever, you’re mine forever
My wondrous Kentucky Dream
