(Hey nonny ding dong, alang, alang, alang
Boom ba-doh, ba-doo, ba-doodle-ay)

Oh, life could be a dream 
If I could take you up in paradise up above 
If you would tell me I'm the only one that you love
Live could be a dream, sweetheart

(Hello, hello again, sh-boom and hopin' we'll meet again)
Oh, life could be a dream
If only all my precious plans would come true
If you would let me spend my whole life lovin' you
Life could be a dream, sweetheart

Now every time I look at you
Something is on my mind 
If you do what I want you to
