Description:
Sorry it's another song about dreams; seems I have a fixation LOL. This could be classed as a kind of lullaby I suppose, but I wrote it as an accompaniment for the photo above of my Grand Niece Saskia. She will be three years old this week-end, but she says she's twenty; and I think I believe her LOL. I took the photo as she slept one afternoon and it got me wondering just what she might be dreaming of. Hence, this song....... hope you like it, M
Lyrics:
Only in DreamsWhen little girls sleep they have wonderful dreams.
Of beautiful places with sweets and ice cream,
Fairies and Angels and cute little gnomes,
Who live in the forest with mushrooms for homes.
Only in dreams, only in dreams.
They dream they can fly like the birds in the sky,
While fluffy white clouds, go sailing by.
When they come down after flying so high,
The King sometimes meets them, they’re not even shy,
All in their dreams, it’s all in their dreams.
Chorus.
But it’s all in their dreams,
It’s all real so it seems,
In a world full of rainbows and nursery rhyme themes,
The flowers can sing and Bluebells really ring,
Only in dreams, only in dreams.
Fairy princesses and castles so tall,
Butterflies, bluebirds and insects so small.
Little girls minds are always enthralled,
With magical things; they love them all.
But it’s all in their dreams,
It’s all real so it seems,
In a world full of rainbows and nursery rhyme themes,
The flowers can sing and Bluebells really ring,
Only in dreams, only in dreams.
Fairy princesses and castles so tall,
Butterflies, bluebirds and insects so small.
Little girls minds are always enthralled,
With magical things; they love them all.
But it’s all in their dreams, only in dreams.
But, nothing they dream of could ever compare,
With our feelings of love as we stand by the chair,
And watch as they sleep at the end of the day,
In innocence dreaming and tired out, tired out, with play.
Maurice Vizard.

Awesome song Moviz - cute and lovely. A very pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. You sing it so beautifully and the arrangement is very skillfully done - I like how you've chosen the electronic sounds; a fine performance, bravo!!!
Moviz
You have 'firsts' Andreas. Thanks so much, I'm really pleased that you liked this and the instruments too, regards M
peacepiano
Well sung. Such a light hearted song belongs in the loftier category of children's music not the mucky world of pop :)
Thanks
Bill
Moviz
I did think of putting it under Children's Music, but since it's a bout rather than for children I plumped for good old 'Pop'. Really pleased that you like it and thanks for the compliment, regards M
Skean

In fact isn't that was most of life is? I dream to achieve, get better, etc...
Enjoyed this a lot. The mix is beautiful!
Moviz
so much Mark. I'm really pleased that you said that, because mixing is not usually my best point. I've always been called a dreamer LOL, thanks again, cheers M

Peter Bauckham
this is one of your best vocal performances to date - I think you could be a wee bit louder... but at least there are the lyrics to follow - I always love your poetic words. Very nicely done!
Peter
Moviz
thanks for the nice compliments.... most welcome. I did experiment by raising and lowering the vocal, until it was getting beyond me LOL, so I settled for the way it is now, cheers M
caroline
lucky saskia - and just my idea of perfect pink and fluff - thank you so much - i used it as a lullaby - its my last listen of the day and now i too am off to dream of magical things - big loves xoxox
Moviz
Liked this Caroline.... it is a real girly song isn't it? and I hope it lulled you into a nice restful sleep, cheers M
guitapick
...I told myself that I'd never forget what it was like...
...very nicely captured, Maurice. Fits the picture to a "t"...
Moviz
Some think I'm still a child (and maybe I am LOL) but I do still remember what it was like too. Glad you approve, thanks so much, regards M
Vic Holman
Very nostalgic tune.
Has a nice rich, early 60's style that Phil Spector would of been proud of. Before he went off the handle of course.
Moviz
for that nice comment; I went for that timeless retro sort of feel, apart from the synth sound of course, cheers M
regulus
always have been, always will be, great lines in prows with your poetry.
It all fits and works well with the arrangement, words on up to the picture as well. I hope some movie producer in the Never Ending Story genre finds this gem of yours.
Moviz
meet you Richard ( I was going to say 'Welcome to MJ', but I see you were here before me). Thank you for your complimentary comments Richard (fellow dreamer); so pleased you enjoyed the song, regards M
Nice song Moviz, Found it relaxing,great lyrics, could be classed as a Lullaby, almost drifted off, nicely done,
regards Boyo.
Moviz
Thanks for listening and for the welcome comment, cheers M

is so good Moviz.I don't know if you have heard Tony Bennett sing "Waltz for Debby" from "The Tony Bennett Bill Evans Album", but your song affected me in a similar way.Thanks for posting this great song!
Moviz
heard that Tony Bennet song Mark, but I'm very pleased that you liked this one too, regards M
TG

Moviz
for taking the time to listen; glad you enjoyed it..... all the very best, M
RazorsKiss
thought bout keeping a dream diary, but i dont know if mine would have gnomes in it...heh. i liked the old school vibe of this one. almost waltz like in the rhythm. and very operatic/broadway vocals. i loved this one alot. listened to it twice!
AD
Moviz
I appreciate those kind words. It's no use me keeping a dream diary as i can't very often recall what i've been dreaming.... though they always seem real at the time. Thanks again, M

that backdrops singing, reminds me of the Lettermens etc. And the solo singing is indeed very pleasant to hear. Love the Christmasy sound that this has.
Again, I always feel like I am on vacation when I hear your sweet tunes. And it is a style that sounds heavenly and pleasant. A treat !
Kind of brings me back to Venus by Frankie Avalon. How I dearly loved that piece and still do. Thanks for keeping that style alive!
Moviz
try to listen to the Frankie Avalon thing Bill. Thanks for listening and for your always encouraging comments, regards M
thoddi
The musical surroundings to your singing fits perfectly and adds to the dreamy mood.
Great melody and ditto words.
Enjoyed it much:)
Moviz
liked it Thor, but I'll bet you spotted the mistakes with your mixing skills LOL. Thank you for listening, regards M
Henke
I have failed to Fav you as an artist! I must have missed a bunch of good songs... I am afraid it's time to go to bed now, but I'll be back for more. I really like your stuff. This one got me in the right mood for bed I think ;-)
Take care and see you around!

Moviz
Thank you for tuning in and listening to this. So glad you liked it and I hope it gave you a nice sleep. Hope to see you around in the future too, regards M

...sincerity about the lyrics of this song, Maurice...and you sing it sweetly, too, like one who remembers even though very far removed from childhood. Proof that childhood can stay with us forever. Just a really beautiful song in every way. If you ever remix this, just jack up your vocals a tad so that they are easy to understand in every instance. ... Loved this little lullaby.
Peace.
Paul
Moviz
Glad you liked it.... the vocals have been raised on my home edition, regards M
I am sooo sorry, how did I manage to overlook this little gem.
Anyhow I am here now. Thanks for the download. I can never find fault with your music , it's all very pretty and delighful to listen to every singe time. Maurice It's true.!
Peace Dee.
Moviz
Dee you've been so busy, I'm surprised you managed to listen to anybody's song LOL, but as you say, you're here now and I'm so glad you called in to listen. Thank you for your lovely comments always.... you bring a ray of sunshine always (now there lies a song title for you), regards M
