Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey nonny ding dong alang alang alang
Boom ba-doh, ba-doo, ba-doodle-ay
[Verse 2]
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
Life could be a dream
Sweetheart
Hello, hello again, sh-boom and hopin' we'll meet again
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Now every time I look at you
Something is on my mind
If you do what I want you too
Baby, we'd be so fine
[Verse 5]
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
Life could be a dream, sweetheart
[Verse 6]
Sh-boom, sh-boom ya-da-da da-da-da da-da-da da
Sh-boom, sh-boom ya-da-da da-da-da da-da-da da
Sh-boom, sh-boom ya-da-da da-da-da da-da-da da
Sh-boom
[Verse 7]
Sh-boom, sh-boom ya-da-da da-da-da da-da-da da
Sh-boom, sh-boom ya-da-da da-da-da da-da-da da
Sh-boom, sh-boom ya-da-da da-da-da da-da-da da
Sh-boom
[Verse 8]
Every time I look at you
Somethin' is on my mind
If you do what I want you too
Baby, we'd be so fine
[Verse 9]
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
Life could be a dream, sweetheart
Hello, hello again, sh-boom and hopin' we'll meet again
[Verse 10]
Hey nonny ding dong alang, alang, alang
Boom ba-doh, ba-doo, ba-doodle-ay
Life could be a dream
Life could be a dream
Sweetheart
[Verse 11]
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
