Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
When I was a little girl
My father used to say
If trouble ever troubles you
Just dream your cares away
Refrain
A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you’re fast asleep
In dreams you will lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for you keep
Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling through
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
The dream that you wish will come true
