Name the Waltz

Post by Jack Shrader Sr »

I have been trying to find out the name of the waltz that was played in the Movie --( Places In The Heart ) starring Sally Fields. The song is a waltz and I think a fiddle tune. it is also played at the end of the movie during the credit. During the Movie the band leader calls the song --My Golden Dreams or Our Golden Dreams. I have looked and can't find any song with this title. I have heard this song before I think it is a old fiddle waltz if any of you-all can help with the title I would really be thankful Jack

Hmmm...the only song the IMDB site lists for this movie is the old hymn "In The Garden". On the other hand, there was an old Hawaiian song (from the '20s, I think) called "My Isle of Golden Dreams", which was later shortened just to "Isle of Golden Dreams".
Just guessing...I've never seen the movie, so maybe someone else will jump in here who has.

Rorry took so long to get back to you/ picked a bucket of Muscadines this AM , had to get my wine jug started . The waltz is "our Golden Dreams " , very old very beautiful, You wont likely find it unless you gan find an ojd song book. Those beautiful old waltzes have gone by the wayside. If you want to learn it to play , I`ll be happy to put it on a tape and mail it to you , FOB free on board. no strings
