Accompaniment by Denese Coulbeck:
Lyrics
- You built a doll house in Dreamland
Filled it with sunshine and song
Now you are sad dear and grieving
Just because things have gone wrong
Chorus
Wake up little girl
You’re just dreaming pretty dreams
Dreaming the hours away
Looking for the land beyond the rainbow
Just like a child at play
Your poor little heart must be breaking
And my heart is aching, too
Wake up little girl
You’re just dreaming pretty dreams
But I’ll make your dreams come true
- You’ll find a brighter tomorrow
After the clouds of today
Some little bluebird will find you
You’ll know I’m right when I say
