Dean Martin(born Dino Paul Crocetti, June 7, 1917 – December 25, 1995) American actor and singer, couldn't read music, and yet recorded more than 100 albums and 600 songs, racking up major hits such as "That's Amore", "Volare", "You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You" and his signature tune "Everybody Loves Somebody". Besides being the ladies' man counterpart of Jerry Lewis in a series of comedies, besides being a ratpacker, Dean Martin, in his long variety show run on NBC, often seemed to be dead drunk on national TV. The fact that America saw his show as charming and wholesome just the same is a testament not only to the culture of the time but to Martin's own great charm. Dean was well known as a family man and his "drinking" was just an act. It used to bother Frank Sinatra (who was a big drinker) that Dean went home early to be with his wife and kids and not go hitting the bars with him.

Better Than A Dream (feat. Judy Holliday) Lyrics
Dean Martin
with Judy Holliday
Judy Holiday:
So that's what you look like
At last I know
You're better better than a dream
What you are is better far better than a dream
Well I tried to picture your face
But now I see you you're out of this world you're out of this sphere you're out of that outer space
Better better than a dream
What is real is more ideal than a dream
To see and hear you to be so near you is better better than a dream
Dean:
Can this be a dream
Can I still be asleep on the couch there
Can this girl be really here
She seems to know by sheer intuition how I landed in this condition
Or does she know me the way I think the way that I drink the fact that I slept all year
But it's not a dream 'cause look I've got some words on the paper
Steady boy don't faint or scream
Don't ask who sent you this angel it's better better than a dream
