A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes

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 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
