A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes
Mouse Chorus Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep
In dreams you will loose your heartache
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

Oh, that clock!
Oh, killjoy
I hear you, come on, get up you say
Time to start another day
Even he orders me around
Well, there's one thing
They can't order me to stop dreaming
And perhaps someday
The dreams that I wish will come true

No matter how your heart is grieving

If you keep on believing
The dream that you wish will come true
