Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
What is, what is this song?
What can it be?
I wonder why it seems to apply to me
Refrain
Use your imagination
Just take this motto for your theme
And soon every night
Will be crowded with delight
And every day will be a dream
Use your imagination,
You’ll see such winders if you do
Around you there lies
Pure enchantment in disguise
And endless joys you never knew
Behind ev’ry cloud there’s a so lovely star
Behind ev’ry star there’s a lovelier one by far
So use your imagination
Just take this motto for your theme
And soon you will dance
On the road to sweet romance
And ev’ry day will be a dream
And ev’ry day will be a perfect dream
