Get in touch with that sundown fellow

As he tiptoes across the sand

He's got a million kinds of stardust

Pick your favourite brand, and



Dream, when you're feeling blue

Dream, that's the thing to do

Just watch the smoke rings rise in the air

You'll find your share of memories there



So dream when the day is through

Dream, and they might come true

Things never are as bad as they seem

So dream, dream, dream



Dream when the day is through

Dream, and they might come true

Things never are as bad as they seem

So dream, dream, dream

Dream

So dream, dream, dream
