Are the dream I have known
Bringing love to my lonely heart!
Now there's heaven in view
Now the dream has come true
For tonight I have you alone!
You are my love my own
Come to my arms and hold me
I live for you alone!
Solo tu, solo tu
Sei il sogno, mio amore
Ch'era sempre nel mio cuor
Ora il sogno è vero
Perché son solo con te

(Are the dream I have known)

Now there's heaven in view
Now the dream has come true
For tonight I have you alone!

I saw Perry sing this on T.V. in New York in the early fifties and have loved his voice ever since. I'm 75-years-old and have 'all' his records, discs and videos. The greatest crooner of them all!
George Waas
Although rarely considered, Perry Como had an operatic quality to his voice. Just listen to "No Other Love" and this song. He was one of the greatest. Period.
Judy Trompeter
A true master at work. Perfect intonation, beautiful sound and constant comfortable breath control.

Sueña alma...corre, vuela..tras la dicha, que sólo te la puede dar...aquel que de tu boca una sonrisa sabe dar, de aquel..que de tus ojos una lágrima hace asomar, al escuchar esta melodía sonar...
