Happy talk, keep talking happy talk
Talk about things you'd like to do
You gotta have a dream, if you don't have a dream
How you gonna have a dream come true

Talk about the moon floating in the sky
Looking like a lily on a lake
Talk about a bird learning how to fly
Making all the music he can make

Happy talk, keep talking' happy talk
Talk about things you'd like to do
You gotta have a dream, if you don't have a dream
How you gonna have a dream come true

Talk about a star looking like a toy
Peeking through the branches of a tree,
Talk about a girl, talk about a boy
Counting all the ripples on the sea


Happy talk, keep talking happy talk,
Talk about things you'd like to do
You gotta have a dream, if you don't have a dream
How you gonna have a dream come true

Talk about a boy saying to the girl
Golly, baby, I'm a lucky cuss
Talk about a girl saying to the boy
You an' me is lucky to be us

Happy talk, keep talking' happy talk
Talk about things you'd like to do,
You gotta have a dream, if you don't have a dream
How you gonna have a dream come true

If you don't talk happy
And you never have a dream
Then you'll never have a dream come true.
