Dreams are nothing more than wishes And a wish's just a dream You wish to come true, woah-oh 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 my puppy everywhere La, la, la, la, I wouldn't care Then we'll stay away from crowds With signs that said "no dogs allowed" Oh we, I know he'd never bite me Up, la, la, la, la, la, ooh We, I know he'd never bite me Up, la, oh If only I could have a friend Who'll stick with me until the ned And walk along beside the sea To share a bit of moon with me I'd take my friend most everywhere La, la, la, la, I wouldn't care And we'll stay away from crowds With signs that said "no friends allowed" Oh we, we'd be so happy to be Up, la, la, la, la, la, ooh We, we'd be so happy to be together But dreams are nothing more than wishes And a wish's just a dream you wish to come true Whoa-whoa-ooh, ah, ah, ah Dreams are nothing more than wishes (your wish will come true) And a wish is just a dream (your wish will come true) You wish to come true (your wish will come true) (Your wish will come true, your wish will come true) Woah-woah, ooh (your wish to come true, your wish will come through) Dreams are nothing more than wishes (your wish will come true) And a wish is just a dream (your wish will come true) You wish to come true (Your wish will come true, woah-woah, ooh)
