Lyrics
- I’ve been dreaming dreams of childhood
And the games we used to play
When my heart knew only sunshine
That was shining thro’ the live-long day
Now I know my constant dreaming
Always takes me back to yesterday;
If your heart is yearning
Join me in returning
Come, and I will show you the way
Refrain
Meet me tonight in Bubble Land
So far away from Trouble Land
Where there is lots of joy
That is waiting for each girl and boy
Hearts break like bubbles in the air
But there we’ll never know a care
Let all our troubles fade like bubbles
Meet me in Bubble Land
- You can make this wond’rous journey
Go to Bubble Land tonight
Only you must be real certain
Your heart’s beating in a way that’s right
Bubble land was made for lovers
Those who’d leave their grieving far behind
There is no despair there,
Pleasure’s everywhere there
Joy’s the only thing that you’ll find
