Lyrics

[Chorus]
Happy talk, keep talkin' happy talk
Talk about things you'd like to do
You've got to have a dream
If you don't have a dream
How're you gonna have a dream come true?
[Verse 1]
Talk about the moon floating in the sky
Looking like a lily on a lake
Talk about the bird learning how to fly
Making all the music he can make
[Chorus]
Happy talkin', talkin' happy talk
Talk about things you'd like to do
You've got to have a dream
If you don't have a dream
How're you gonna have a dream come true?
[Verse 2]
Talk about the star looking like a toy
Peeking through the branches of a tree
Talk about the girl, talk about the boy
Counting all the ripples on the sea
[Chorus]
Happy talk, keep talkin' happy talk
Talk about things you'd like to do
You've got to have a dream
If you don't have a dream
How're you gonna have a dream come true?
[Refrain]
If you don't talk happy
And you never have a dream
You will never have a dream come true
[Outro]
Happy talk, keep talkin' happy talk
Written by: Oscar Hammerstein II, Richard Rodgers
