Lyrics
GRACE:
I'll see you in my dreams,
hold you in my dreams.
Someone took you out of my arms,
still I feel the thrill of your charms.
Lips that once were mine,
tender eyes that shine,
they will light my way tonight,
I'll see you in my dreams.GRACE:
I'll see you in my dreams,
hold you in my dreams.
Someone took you out of my arms,
still I feel the thrill of your charms.
Lips that once were mine,
tender eyes that shine,
they will light my way tonight,
I'll see you in my dreams.

The Django Reinhardt Trio's song "I'll See You in My Dreams" is a classic jazz standard from the 1930s. The track was originally released on the album 'Django Reinhardt & Stephane Grappelli - Jazz in Paris' and features the legendary Gypsy guitarist, Django Reinhardt, alongside violinist Stéphane Grappelli.
It was recorded by the Quintette du Hot Club de France on April 25th 1937 and released on the French Swing label later that year. This genre-defining work of art has been covered countless times since its original release, with notable versions by Les Paul, Joe Pass, and Chet Atkins. The lyrics were written by Gus Kahn and Isham Jones, while the band members included Django Reinhardt (guitar), Stéphane Grappelli (violin) and Joseph Reinhardt (rhythm guitar). The trio created an upbeat swing version of the tune which featured some of the most intricate soloing of any jazz recording of the period. In addition to its immense popularity among jazz fans, “I’ll See You in My Dreams” has become one of the most iconic songs of all time.
