But I know I know for sure It's no use crying all day long So I dream a happy dream And dry all the tears that I shed
Let me whisper in your little ear I'm afraid you'll be amazed I have to fight and I really fear Tomorrow I'll be on my way I'll be alone Singing this song If I were to sacrifice my life to God I would tell Him that I'm really glad
'Cause I know I know for sure He and I have got the same design So I'll always be a happy dreamer No matter what it costs
To tell the truth I am never that strong Though I'm not what I appear to be Don't get me wrong Never that strong Talking to the daisies One day at a time I fall into a doze Full of tears in my eyes
But I know I know for sure It's no use crying all day long So I dream a happy dream And dry all the tears that I shed
