| Dressed up in a gown that trails on the floor
|
| In a picture hat that your mommy wore
|
| Living in a world that you never saw
|
| My little lady make believe
|
| What a pair of shoes for two tiny feet
|
| What a pair of gloves the fingers don’t meet
|
| Posing in a glass, your joy is complete
|
| My little lady make believe
|
| In your little arms the doll you unfold
|
| Means the world and all to you
|
| But you could never love the doll that you hold
|
| Half as much as I love you, dear
|
| Dream your little dreams and may they come true
|
| May the coming years bring happiness, too
|
| All my future dreams are wrapped up in you
|
| My little lady make believe
|
| Fall in love, fall in love says my heart
|
| It’s romance, take a chance says my heart
|
| But each time that I’m almost in your arms
|
| This old school teacher brain of mine keeps ringing in false alarms
|
| Then my head rules instead and I’m wise
|
| To the scheme of that gleam in your eyes
|
| Then I kiss and run, but the moment we’re apart
|
| Oh, you fool, that was love
|
| Says my heart
|
| Dream your little dreams and may they come true
|
| May the coming years bring happiness, too
|
| All my future dreams are wrapped up in you
|
| My little lady make believe |
