This Time the Dream's on Me is a jazz standard composed by Harold Arlen with lyrics by Johnny Mercer, written for the 1941 film Blues in the Night where it was sung by Priscilla Lane. In 1941, hit versions were recorded by Glenn Miller with Ray Eberle and by Woody Herman, both popular on the charts. Over the years it has been covered by many artists, including Kenny Burrell on Introducing Kenny Burrell (1956), June Christy on Something Cool (1954), and Ella Fitzgerald on her Harold Arlen Songbook albums (1961 and 1964). Tony Bennett recorded it on his 1960 album Sings a String of Harold Arlen, with the track recorded on August 18, 1960. The tune is best known as a vocal jazz ballad and remains a widely performed standard in the jazz world.
