Dream are nothing more than wishes
And a wish is just a dream
You wish to come true

If only I could have a puppy
I'd call myself so very lucky
Just to have some company
To share a cup of tea with me
I'd take that puppy everywhere
La la la la I wouldn't care
But We would stay away from crowds
And signs that said no dogs allowed

Oh We. I'd know he'd never bite me oh no
We would know he'd never bite me oh no

If only I could have a friend
To stick with me until the end
To walk along beside the sea
And share a bit of moon with me
I'd take my friend most everywhere
Lalalala I wouldn't care
But we would stay away from crowds 
And signs that said no friends allowed

Oh we would be so happy together Oh yeah
We would be so happy to be

But dreams are nothing more than wishes
And a wish is just a dream 
You wish to come true

Dreams are nothing more than wishes
And a wish is just a dream
You wish to come true

Dreams are nothing more than wishes
And a wish it just a dream 
You wish to come true
