If I Ever Had A Dream - Nellie McKay

If I ever had a dream

I would dream of sunny skies of blue

Clover 'neath the fields of cream

Bougainvillea and the roses too

The wind is a symphony

Flowing low across the silver sea

He’ll sway on a summer breeze

Twinkling shadows from a canopy

No arms to hold you down

Your own dear nature will see you through

If I ever had a dream

It would be for you

If I ever had a wish (if she ever had wish)

Butterflies and bumble bees would play (buzz buzz woooh)

Purple moonbeams on the mist (purple moonbeams on the mist)

Crowds of calla lilies show the way (this way)

Bush, bramble and burbling streams

Gurgling gently down a berth of green

How mirthful a melody

Sunlight playing on the water’s glean (lovely)

Somewhere the heart can roam

Far from the damage that some can do

If I ever had a dream (if she ever had a dream)

It would be for you

Somewhere the heart can roam

Far from the damage that some can do

If I ever had a dream

It would be for you
