When you're fast asleep
In dreams you will 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 fast asleep
In dreams you will 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
If you keep on believing
The dream that you wish will come true

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
Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling thru
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
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, oooh, 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

I'm beginning to believe this.
Long story:
For twenty years, I had to see a doctor, because I have bad migraines. At first things were okay, but then I had to have tests done, that only made things worse. (Part of the reason why I have migraines is because of stress.) So a few yeas ago, my mom decided to see if we couldn't find a better doctor.
Last year, I dreamed that the doctor I usually see left, and, for some reason, we wouldn't be going to that hospital anymore.
Shortly after that dream, we found out that the doctor did retire, and we had to see a replacement. But this doctor only wanted to make things worse, so we finally said goodbye to that hospital, and we're seeing a new doctor, who said I didn't have to have as many tests done.

My wife used to sing this song all the time. It's heartbreaking to listen to since she passed, because I can still hear her singing it.

I think the original voice of Cinderella would be proud.
yikes
Illene Woods would be extremely proud of her.
She would not dissapoint
Quentin Barrentine
A fact that will make any Disney fan cry...
Ilene Woods, who was the original voice of Cinderella, wound up in a nursing home in her old age due to Alzheimer's making her mind slipping away because of her aging. As the years went by, she slipped further and further away and got more and more upset and angry and frustrated at not knowing where she was or why. She didn't even remember voicing Cinderella. The one thing that always calmed her down and made her happy was when the nurses taking care of her would play "A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes." So they played it as often as they could for her.
