Lyric Description: In Alone With Just My Dreams, the narrator describes in often-poetic terms the emptiness that is felt when a love affair is over.
No-vocal version: The complete ballad recording is also available without the vocal track, so you can have your chance to express the song with the rhythm section.
If another key would be better for you, send the key you'd like to Don and we'll post the transposition on the website for purchase. If you're not sure which key is best, send us your range and we'll work with you to figure out the best key.
This lead sheet is also found in our Sing JAZZ! songbook, a collection of stunning, lesser-known vocal selections from the Second Floor Music repertoire (Sing JAZZ! contents).

George Duvivier
August 17, 1920 – July 11, 1985
