It's just a little dream I have; I keep it in my pocket Like a marble with a rainbow eye And every now and then I check to make sure I've still got it This little dream that's like a marble with a rainbow eye It's not the kind of dream you'd flash about; you'd never wear it It's more the kind you'd bury deep inside I never thought I'd meet someone with whom I'd want to share it But you've got something there that's twinkling in your rainbow eye And sometimes I feel it burning And sometimes it's cold as snow I'll keep my fingers on it, turning And when the time is right, I'll know Until that day arrives, this little dream is mine for keeping Some might lose theirs, but I'm gonna try And every now and then I'll check to make sure it's not sleeping This little dream that's like a marble with a rainbow eye And sometimes it's like a burden But I'll never let it go I'll keep my fingers on it, turning And when the time is right, I'll know And sometimes I feel it burning And sometimes it's cold as snow I'll keep my fingers on it, turning And when the time is right, I'll know It's just a little dream I have; I keep it in my pocket Like a marble with a rainbow eye
