A Kiss to Build a Dream On (Ruby & Kalmar)

Sleep on, and dream of heaven awhile
Tho' shut so close thy laughing eyes
Thy rosy lips still wear a smile
And move, and breathe delicious sighs
-- Samuel Rogers (1763—1855)


You probably had seen a movie where Louis Armstrong was featured in a recording of this tune. Can you name the movie?
