Verse:

Get in touch with that sundown fellow, As he tiptoes across the sand.

He's got a million kinds of stardust, Pick your fav'rite brand, and:

 

Chorus:

Dream when you're feelin' blue,

Dream that's the thing to do.

Just watch the smokerings rise in the air,

You'll find your share of memories there.

So Dream when the day is thru,

Dream and they might come true,

Things never are as bad as they seem,

So Dream, Dream, Dream.
