Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Happy talk, keep talkin' happy talk
Talk about things you like to do
You gotta have a dream
If you don't have a dream
How you gonna have a dream come true?
[Verse 2]
Talk about a moon floatin' in the sky
Lookin' like a lily on a lake
Talk about a bird learnin' how to fly
Makin' all the music, he can make
[Verse 3]
Happy talk, keep talkin' happy talk
Talk about things you like to do
You got to have a dream
If you don't have a dream
How you gonna have a dream come true?
[Verse 4]
You could talk about a star lookin' like a toy
Peekin' through the branches of a tree
Talk about a girl, talk about a boy
Countin' all the ripples in the sea
[Verse 5]
Happy talk, keep talkin' happy talk
Talk about things you like to do
You got to have a dream
If you don't have a dream
How you gonna have a dream come true?
[Verse 6]
Talk about a boy sayin' to the girl
Golly, honey, I'm a lucky cuss
Talk about the girl sayin' to the boy
You and me is lucky to be us
[Verse 7]
Happy talk, keep talkin' happy talk
Talk about things you like to do
You got to have a dream
If you don't have a dream
How you gonna have a dream come true?
Written by: Oscar Hammerstein II, Richard Rodgers
