Polka Dots and Moonbeams
Chet Baker Lyrics

A country dance was being held in a garden
At a pleasant event outside in a rural area, there was a dance party going on.

I felt a bump and heard an "Oh, beg your pardon"
Someone bumped into me and apologized for it.

Suddenly I saw polka dots and moonbeams
All of a sudden I noticed a dazzling display of lights, reminiscent of polka dots and moonbeams.

All around a pug-nosed dream
The enchanting spectacle was surrounding an adorable person with a pug nose.

The music started and was I the perplexed one
As the music began to play, I became quite confused.

I held my breath and said "May I have the next one?"
I was nervous, but I asked if I could dance with the next person.

In my frightened arms, polka dots and moonbeams
During the dance, I held my partner close, and was still struck by the beautiful lights around us.

Sparkled on a pug-nosed dream
The charming person with the pug nose continued to catch my eye.

There were questions in the eyes of other dancers
The other party-goers seemed curious about our pair.

As we floated over the floor
As we danced gracefully around the floor.

There were questions but my heart knew all the answers
Others may have been unsure about us, but I was confident in my own feelings.

And perhaps a few things more
And maybe there were other emotions and thoughts that I had not yet acknowledged to myself.

Now in a cottage built of lilacs and laughter
Now, in a cozy and happy home surrounded by flowers and joy.

I know the meaning of the words "Ever after"
I have come to understand what 'happily ever after' truly means.

And I'll always see polka dots and moonbeams
That magical night will always be with me, and I will always remember the captivating sight of the lights.

When I kiss the pug-nosed dream
Even when I am with that special person with the adorable pug nose, I will be reminded of that wonderful night.
