Vaughn Monroe Don't Build Your Dreams Too High
VAUGHN MONROE AND HIS ORCHESTRA
VOCAL BY VAUGHN MONROE
DON'T BUILD YOUR DREAMS TOO HIGH.
FOOLS TRY TO REACH THE SKY.
ONCE I WISHED UPON A STAR AND FOUND,
EVEN STARS CAN TUMBLE TO THE GROUND.
DON'T BUILD YOUR DREAMS TOO HIGH.
LATER YOU'LL WONDER WHY.
IF THE ONE YOU LOVE CAN'T BE YOURS OWN,
AND A LOVE THAT'S YOURS ALONE.
AND I'M NOT JUST SAYING THIS,
PRETENDING I'M SMART.
I KNOW WHAT A CARELESS KISS,
CAN DO TO A HEART.
DON'T BUILD YOUR DREAMS TOO HIGH.
DON'T DO THE SAME AS I.
TRY TO FIND A DREAM THAT COULD COME TRUE,
AND HAPPINESS WILL COME TO YOU.
ORCHESTRAL REFRAIN FOLLOWS
THEN;
AND I'M NOT JUST SAYING THIS,
PRETENDING I'M SMART.
I KNOW WHAT A CARELESS KISS,
CAN DO TO A HEART.
DON'T BUILD YOUR DREAMS TOO HIGH.
DON'T DO THE SAME AS I.
TRY TO FIND A DREAM THAT COULD COME TRUE,
AND HAPPINESS WILL COME TO YOU.
