Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What a for a daydreamin' boy
And I'm lost in a daydream
Dreamin' bout my bundle of joy
And even if time ain't really on my side
It's one of those days for takin' a walk outside
I'm blowin' the day to take a walk in the sun
I been havin' a sweet dream
I been dreamin' since I woke up today
It's starring me and my sweet dream
'Cause she's the one that makes me feel this way
And you can be sure that if you're feelin' right
A daydream will last 'til long into the night
Tomorrow at breakfast you may prick up your ears
Or you may be daydreamin' for a thousand years

What a day for a daydream
Today's the perfect day for dreaming
What a for a daydreamin' boy
That's what I am, a boy daydreaming
And I'm lost in a daydream
I'm completely absorbed in my dream
Dreamin' bout my bundle of joy
Dreaming about the person who brings me happiness and joy
And even if time ain't really on my side
Even if I'm short on time
It's one of those days for takin' a walk outside
Today is perfect for taking a walk outside
I'm blowin' the day to take a walk in the sun
I'm spending the whole day walking in the sunshine
And fall on my face on somebody's new-mowed lawn
Even if I stumble and fall on someone's fresh lawn
I been havin' a sweet dream
I've been having a very pleasant dream
I been dreamin' since I woke up today
I've been dreaming since I first woke up this morning
It's starring me and my sweet dream
It's all about me and my dream of someone special
'Cause she's the one that makes me feel this way
She's the one who makes me feel so happy and content
And you can be sure that if you're feelin' right
If you're feeling good
A daydream will last 'til long into the night
Your daydream can last all night
Tomorrow at breakfast you may prick up your ears
Even tomorrow morning you may still be thinking about your dream
Or you may be daydreamin' for a thousand years
You may continue to daydream for a very long time
