Sweet Dreams Sweetheart from Hollywood Canteen

[@JohnCBurzynski]

Found this last night when I was getting ready for bed. My mom used to sing this to me when she tucked me in. I only remembered the words “good night, sweet dreams, tomorrow is another day”. I did a google search, found this, and went way back in time.

it's such a sweet and loving song ! ! !

[@Arkelk2010]

I remember Mom singing to me at bedtime. Different song though. Sigh.

[@gracejasmine6777]

Me too. :) It was so great to find this song again.

Still get a touch teary eyed....packs an emotional moment.....soldiers going off to defend us and never knowing not knowing if they will make it back!

My favorite actress .ALL TIME..Joan Leslie!!

[@RetiredSailor60]

Mine too. She was absolutely beautiful.

[@hew2356]

She was a class act. My favorite of hers is "Repeat Performance" with Leslie Howard and Richard Basehart.

Joan brings something essential to her roles; a genuine sincerity that she isn't faking. She really seems accessible & has an everyperson quality that is beyond appealing. I researched her life story & found she lived a happy fulfilling life we would have expected, free of scandal & heartache. She lived to be 90yrs old & aged gracefully. In an interview several years before he death, she looked & sounded great. An impressive woman, a life well-lived.. ,

[@axlheck1516]

she was genuinely sweet ! ! !

[@BluebirdFrank]

Joan Leslie was such a gorgeous actress! She was the personification of grace and beauty and talent😍

[@davindaire]

Beautiful, lilting melody. I met Joan Leslie about twenty years ago on a plane and she was just as sweet as she seems here.

[@eriksexton7660]

thank you for sharing that .

[@kenchambers7137]

Was she short ?

[@davindaire]

@@kenchambers7137 I really don't know for sure. She was seated the whole time and I was crouched in the aisle talking to her.

[@Mister8224]

@@kenchambers7137Joan was about 5'5. She danced with Astaire & fit in perfectly.

[@axlheck1516]

​@@kenchambers7137 i'm sooo jealous . . . i wish that i could have met her ! ! !

[@robt5818]

[@axlheck1516]

i wish joan and robert had been a couple in real life . . . they were sooo cute together ! ! !

[@davidsbunny01]

My grandpa & aunt used to sing this to me & my sister (many moons ago) when we were little & going to bed. :)

No face piercings, no colored hair, well dressed, no cussing. ❤

[@tommyt9761]

When Hollywood has a conscience!........Thanks to all of them, especially Bette Davis and John Garfield. Want to compare the respect of old Hollywood to the respect Hollywood projects today?

[@Birdie030]

Lyrics (hopefully I got them right): 2x Goodnight, sweet dreams, tomorrow's another day Till then, sweet dreams, sweetheart Goodnight, sleep tight, I'll see you along the way In dreams, sweet dreams, sweetheart May angels up above, watch over you And keep you safe my love, until the dawn breaks through Goodnight, sweet dreams, tomorrows another day Goodnight, sweet dreams, sweetheart

[@SuperDoright]

Sparks

[@piddles11]

She sang??? Never knew

[@johnjleone]

Joan did sing a little, but here (and in other films), she was dubbed by Sally Sweetland.

[@alejandrollanos1592]

Remember Bugs Bunny singing the hook

[@marcyjames3618]

How many of us know this because of Bugs Bunny! 😂

[@johnjames1320]

Wow. I wonder why
