This is a combination of two excellent songs that I didn't write: "Life Is but a Dream" by The Harptones (although I prefer The Earls' version) and "Stompin' Sh-Boom" by The Dories.
lyrics
Life is but a dream
And we can live it.
We can make our love
None to compare with.
Will you take part in
My life? My love?
That is my...
Life is but a dream.
It’s what you make it.
Always try to give.
Don’t ever take it.
Life has its music.
Life has its songs of love.
Life is but a dream,
And I dream of you.
Strange as it may seem,
All night I see you.
I’m trying to tell you
Just what you mean to me.
I love you with all of my heart.
I adore you and all your charms.
I want you to do your part.
Come here to my open arms.
Life could be a dream
If I could take you up to paradise up above,
And tell you darling you’re the only one that I love.
Life could be a dream, sweetheart.
Life could be a dream
If only all my precious plans would come true,
If you would let me spend my whole life loving you.
Life could be a dream, sweetheart.
Life is but a dream
And we can live it.
We can make our love
None to compare with.
Will you take part in
My life? My love?
That is my dream.
Life is but a dream…
