A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes
Kimberly Locke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you're fast asleep
In dreams you lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep
Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling through
No matter how your heart is grieving
The dream that you wish will come true
A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're feeling small, yeah
Alone in the night you whisper
Thinking no one can hear you at all
You wake with the morning sunlight
To find fortune that is smiling on you
Don't let your heart be filled with sorrow
For all you know, tomorrow
The dream that you wish will come true, ooh, yeah
A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep
In dreams you lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep
You wake with the morning sunlight
To find fortune that is smiling on you
Don't let your heart be filled with sorrow
For all you know, tomorrow
The dream that you wish will come true
No matter your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
The dream that you wish will come true
Ooh, yeah, come true

Oh, man, this song is definitely A Wish That My Heart Made for me. I used to own this CD in high school, and I remember putting this song on repeat before I would fall asleep to it. God, do I want to go back in time to 2005 now. : /
