Dream a little dream
Dream a little dream
Today I dreamt that I could talk; I took a step and tried to walk.
Got hugs and kisses just for me, because she heard me say mommy.
As time went by and I got bigger, so did my dreams, but I still love Tigger
I had a dream about this dog, and one time I dreamt I caught a frog.
I sometimes dream that I can fly, especially when I close my eyes.
When I peek, I’m on my swing, and there’s my mom, she's pushing me.
I just learned how to play baseball; my only dream was to grow tall.
I know I should have told the truth, but someone asked, are you, Babe Ruth?
As time passed by, I dreamt of girls. Look there she is, the one with curls.
I asked her if she'd walk with me, she said she would, like in my dream.
I saved my money in a jar; I dreamed one day I'd buy a car.
It would be red and go real fast. Guess what? I passed my driving test.
When I got home to my surprise, I saw a red jeep in the drive.
My mom stood there so proud of me, she said it's yours and here's the keys.
Been dreaming that I’d go to Yale, I got this letter in the mail.
It said I won this scholarship; my mom just started doing flips.
Now when I dream about my life, I just look up, and there’s my wife.
She’s trying to help our baby walk, she swears today he tried to talk.
