- Verse:
- I'm dreaming dreams, I'm
scheming schemes,
- I'm building castles high,
- They're born anew, their
days are few,
- Just like a sweet butter
fly.
- And as the daylight is dawning,
- They come again in the morning.
-
- Chorus:
- I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles,
- Pretty bubbles in the air,
- They fly so high, nearly
reach the sky,
- Then like my dreams they
fade and die.
- Fortune's always hiding,
- I've looked ev'rywhere,
- I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles,
- Pretty bubbles in the air.
