Happy Dreams
(The Song in the Heart We Give Away)
Did you know happy dreams come along each new day
When we sing loving words, loving words to everyone
Then the words come alive and we feel oh so good
And the song in the heart we give away
Did you know happy dreams also come from loving you
When we learn goodness knows, goodness knows, what is true
Did you know happy life we live on a sunny day
And the song in the heart we give away
Did you know happy dreams can also fade away
When we learn, not all things come together well
Did you know sadness comes when we feel and do not know
And the song hurts the heart just for that day
Happy dreams we can build, once the sadness is gone
Memories good, store away, and all the loving had
They are there, just for you and your own loving way
And the song in the heart we hold each day
Happy dreams come alive, what we have on each new day
Feeling good comes your way, if you hold it that way
Happy dreams they are there, all the time, all the time
And the song in your heart will always shine
Did you know happy dreams come along each new day
When we sing loving words, loving words to everyone
Then the words come alive and we feel oh so good
And the song in the heart we give away
