Hey nonny ding dong, alang alang alang

Boom ba-doh, ba-doo ba-doodle-ay



Oh, life could be a dream (sh-boom)

If I could take you up in paradise up above (sh-boom)

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)



Oh, life could be a dream (sh-boom)

If only all my precious plans would come true (sh-boom)

If you would let me spend my whole life lovin' you

Life could be a dream sweetheart



Now every time I look at you

Something is on my mind (dat-dat-dat-dat-dat-duh)

If you do what I want you to

Baby, we'd be so fine



Oh, life could be a dream (sh-boom)

If I could take you up in paradise up above (sh-boom)

If you would tell me I'm the only one that you love

Life could be a dream sweetheart



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



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



Every time I look at you

Somethin' is on my mind

If you do what I want you to

Baby, we'd be so fine



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) boom sh-boom

Hey nonny ding dong, alang alang alang (sh-boom)

Ba-doh, ba-doo ba-doodle-ay

Life could be a dream

Life could be a dream, sweetheart



Life could be a dream

If only all my precious plans would come true

If you would let me spend my whole life loving you

Life could be a dream sweetheart



(dee-oody-ooh, sh-boom, sh-boom)

(dee-oody-ooh, sh-boom, sh-boom)

(dee-oody-ooh, sh-boom, sh-boom)

Sweetheart!!
