(Castles In Spain)
From the 1932 musical revue “Face the Music”
Words and music by Irving Berlin
The sheet music:
Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
A cottage by the sea
Is not for you and me
The time would soon arrive
When it would drive us frantic
A little bungalow
Would never do I know
What I am hoping for
Is something more romantic
Chorus
We’ll build a Castle in Spain
On a roof in Manhattan
And in our lofty domain
We’ll pretend to be Latin
You’ll sing a sweet little tune
While I sit and strum my guitar
We’ll be so close to the moon
I’ll reach up and pluck you a star
And thru the night we’ll remain
Wrapped in velvet and satin
And dream of Castles in Spain
On a roof in Manhattan
Sung here by Laurence Rubenstein:
