Words and music by John William Kellette.

Accompaniment by Sara Welland:
Lyrics
- In the human heart there’s a hope that glows
Like the budding rose, full of promise grows
And the dawning light finds that hope so bright
But hopes bubble over then fade from sight
Refrain
Bubbling over, bubbling over
Hope with me is bubbling over all the time
Just as a rosebud blooms, its petals fall
Like all my dreams, they die, then all goes
Tumbling over, crumbling over
Like my castles high in the air
I search for sunshine and the raindrops fall
Then as I hunt for fortune, it just hides, that’s all
Dreams are over, hopes are over
Life is bubbling over all the time
- Through our dearest dreams as we scheme our schemes
Hope is ever new, and each golden hue
Keeps them soaring high, till they fade and die
Or those that we cherish take wings and fly
