Once Upon A Dream

Sleeping Beauty’s ‘Once Upon a Dream’, a song so lovely, it’s in the film . . . doubly.  The tune is taken from The Garland Waltz in the ballet The Sleeping Beauty by Tchaikovsky. The lyrics for the 1959 film were written by Sammy Fain and Jack Lawrence. Originally performed beautifully by Mary Costa and Bill Shirley (as Aurora, and Prince Phillip respectively).
