Verse:
What price happiness?  What price happiness?  Who can truthfully say?
But, for ev'ry share, with tears we pay.
Love is happiness,  I've had happiness,  But it ended one day.
Now I look at life a diff'rent way.
 
Chorus:
When skies are cloudy and gray,  They're on1y gray for a day,
So Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams, and dream your troubles away.
Until that sunshine peeps through,  There's only one thing to do.
Just Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams, and dream your troubles away.
Your castles may tumble that's fate, after all, life's really funny that way.
No use to grumble, just smile as they fall.  Weren't you king for a day?  Say!
Just remember that sunshine,  Always follows the rain.
So Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams and dream your troubles away.
