|
|
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 everywhere,
|
I'm forever blowing bubbles,
|
Pretty bubbles in the air.
|
|
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 butterfly.
|
And as the daylight is dawning,
|
They come again in the morning!
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
When shadows creep, when I'm asleep,
|
To lands of hope I stray!
|
Then at daybreak, when I awake,
|
My bluebird flutters away.
|
Happiness, you seem so near me,
|
Happiness, come forth and cheer me!
|
|
[Chorus]
