This Time the Dream's On Me: Piano/Vocal/Chords Digital Sheet Music

This is a standard with warmth and storytelling at its heart. The melody and lyric invite intimate delivery, while the harmonic foundation supports both lush arrangement and spare, conversational interpretations.

Jazz vocalists and musical theatre singers preparing audition material or recital repertoire will find this a reliable, readable resource. Pianists accompanying singers, whether in private lessons or performance, can use the chord chart to build flexible, responsive accompaniment.

• Study the chord symbols carefully; they may suggest alterations or extensions that shape the harmonic color, especially in the bridge.
• Communicate with your vocalist about tempo and dynamics before rehearsing. Standards benefit from mutual agreement on the overall feel and energy.
• Use the lyric line to guide phrasing at the piano. Where the vocalist breathes and shapes the melody will naturally influence your accompaniment choices.

Program this alongside other golden age standards for a jazz vocal recital, or pair it with contemporary songs to show stylistic range. It also works as a teaching piece for singers learning to interpret standards and pianists developing comping skills.
