Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh life could be a dream
If I could take you up in paradise up above
If you would tell me I'm the only one that you love
Life could be a dream sweetheart
Hello, hello again
Sh-boom and hoping we meet again
Oh life could be a dream
If only all of my precious plans would come true
If you would let me spend my whole life loving you
Life could be a dream sweetheart
Now every time I look at you
Something is on my mind
Duh duh duh duh duh duh
If you do what I want you to
Baby we'd be so fine
Oh life could be a dream
If I could take you up in paradise up above
If you would tell me I'm the only one that you love
Life could be a dream sweetheart

@Keith M But back then you could use any music however you would like, now you have problems trying to get rights to play a song somewhere, licenses, copyrights etc, these rules should have been only been against someone making money off the same song you made.
