Verse:

Get in touch with that sun -down fel -low, As he tip -toes a -cross the sand.

He's got a mil -lion kinds of star -dust, Pick your fav -'rite brand, and:

 

Chorus:

Dream when you're feel -in' blue,

Dream that's the thing to do.

Just watch the smoke -rings rise in the air,

You'll find your share of mem -o -ries there.

So Dream when the day is thru,

Dream and they might come true,

Things nev -er are as bad as they seem,

So Dream, Dream, Dream.
