Castles In The Air 1934

Though dreams are sweet
and bright are fairy fancies,
there is a fairy land
in earthly life;
the humblest man can
have his own romances,
and share at home
a kingdom with a wife.
The visions pass
as breaks a rainbow bubble,
when from your hand
it vanished in the air;
at home is peace
that fortune cannot trouble,
the hearts you love
are waiting for you there.

Castles in the air above you
ever vanish as you roam;
here on earth are hearts to love you,
happiness is here at home.
Castles in the air above you
ever vanish as you roam;
here on earth are hearts to love you,
happiness is here at home.

Though life is hard,
yet meet the days with laughter,
a merry heart has always songs to sing:
if nights are dark,
there's golden morning after
and winter's snow
will make the flow'rs of Spring:
the earth is old
and yet is ever joyous,
though ev'ry year
she feels the winter's spell.
Let us forget the worries
that annoy us,
laugh on and love,
and all will yet be well.

Castles in the air above you
ever vanish as you roam;
here on earth are hearts to love you,
happiness is here at home.
Castles in the air above you
ever vanish as you roam;
here on earth are hearts to love you,
happiness is here at home.
